HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION 1909, NEW YORK CITY, NY HUDSON-FULTON (COMBINED) DOLLAR.
THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF (13) OF THIS TYPE GRADED BY NGC, WITH ONLY (2) MS 65 DPL'S LISTED AS FINER IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 3/2024.
ONE OF THE MS 65 DPL'S WAS SOLD FOR $1,518.00 IN THE OSTHEIMER COLLECTION AUCTION BACK IN 2011. I OWNED THIS MS 65 DPL OSTHEIMER COLLECTION EXAMPLE, BUT SOLD IT PREVIOUSLY. PCGS HAS GRADED NONE OF THIS TYPE TO DATE.
Purpose: To commemorate 300th anniversary of discovery of Hudson River and centenary of successful steamboat navigation.
In addition to tributes paid Hendrik Hudson and Robert Fulton, Commission sought "to re-stimulate interest in the important roles New York City and New York State played in American history, to inculcate in the vast immigrant population of the state a pride in their new Homeland and to promote international friendship."
