WORLD GLOBE DOLLARS

ONLY (31) GRADED FINER BY NGC OF OVER 230 LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2023.

AN NGC GRADED MS 64 PL EXAMPLE WAS SOLD BY STACKS BOWERS AUCTIONS FOR $336.00.

Globe dollars struck on thin and thick planchets, approximately 2 1/2 and 3 1/2mm., respectively. ALSO CATALOGUED AS EGLIT 9.

For many years aluminum was more valuable than gold. Several processes developed in the 1850s lowered its price, but when the pyramidal aluminum cap of the Washington Monument was produced in 1884, the cost of aluminum was still about $1 per ounce, similar to the cost of silver.
