THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF (6) DEEP PROOFLIKE EXAMPLES LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2023.
AN NGC GRADED MS 62 NON-PROOFLIKE EXAMPLE WAS SOLD BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS IN 2021 FOR $312.00.
THIS IS THE ONLY PROOF ULTRA CAMEO OF THIS TYPE, AND ONE OF ONLY (3) PROOFS LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 10/2019.
NOTE: NGC HAS NOW REMOVED THE PROOF DESIGNATION FROM ALL OF THE (3) PREVIOUSLY GRADED PROOFS OF THIS TYPE. THIS EXAMPLE IS NOW SHOWN AS MS 63 DPL WHEN YOU PUT THE GRADING # INTO THE "VERIFY NGC CERTIFICATION" PAGE. I HAVE LEFT THE CENSUS OF THE PROOFS ABOVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Pierced for suspension, as issued. A simply exquisite piece, both sides are highly reflective in finish with smartly impressed, razor sharp devices. Dies by George H. Lovett, also known as GW-902 white metal per the Lovett Tokens & Medals website by Dave Baldwin. Thanks to Dave for all of his knowledge of the Lovett family's body of work from 1824 to around 1894. Also cataloged as Baker-415C.
CHILDREN OF AMERICA DOLLAR.
Description from the So-Called Dollar book: Although this medal is unsigned, the central bust of Washington also appeared on a different medal (Baker 271) that was signed G. H. L., so it is likely that this medal was struck by George Hampden Lovett as well.
