Lusterrules So-Called Dollars

Owner Comments:

This Declaration of Independence Dollar is made of white metal and is one of the varieties that features the John Hancock signature on its reverse. Its obverse lacks the Demarest signature below the date and has three people seated and one standing. It was not listed in either edition of Hibler & Kappen’s “So-Called Dollars an Illustrated Standard Catalog”, however it has been listed in Shevlin & Hyder’s book “So-Called Dollars Volume 1: United States Expositions” as SH 2-49 WM. This particular piece is a wonderful example that exhibits proof-like surfaces and has excellent eye appeal. NGC has graded this medal MS-64 PL, but unfortunately, there is no population data listed in their census for this medal so I have no idea how many they may have graded or if any have been graded higher. Its overall rarity is listed as R8 (5-10 known).
