FERRIS WHEEL DOLLAR

ALSO CATALOGUED AS EGLIT 537.

AN NGC GRADED MS 63 PL EXAMPLE WAS SOLD BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS FOR $431.25.

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.
