BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS
HK-284A MS 62 DPL

Owner Comments:

THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TEN DEEP PROOFLIKES LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 6/2023.

JEFF SHEVLIN SOLD AN UNGRADED CHOICE UNCIRCULATED DEEP PROOFLIKE EXAMPLE ON HIS WEBSITE FOR $375.00. THE ONLY OTHER RECENT SALE I FOUND FOR THIS TYPE WAS A MS 67 DPL (TOP POP OVERALL) THAT WAS SOLD BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS IN 2018 FOR $750.00.

This is a stunning Deep Mirror Proof-Like example. Female figure standing tall with out-reached arms, implements of industry below her arms, topographical view of exposition grounds on the reverse. Struck in white metal. Holed at 12 o'clock. Mirrored fields effectively highlight the design of this piece that was originally suspended from a pin-backed silk ribbon.

TRANS-MISSISSIPPI AND INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION 1898, OMAHA, NE
