1933 IL HK-469B SO-CALLED DOLLAR HALL OF SCIENCE NGC MS 64 RD
THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF (3) HK-469B'S LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 1/2022. ALL ARE GRADED MS 64, MINE IS RD, OTHERS ARE RB.
HK-469 AND HK-469A ARE GILT, THIS HK-469B EXAMPLE IS BRONZE. THIS TYPE IS NOT LISTED IN THE HIBLER-KAPPEN SO-CALLED DOLLAR BOOK BUT RECOGNIZED BY NGC.
NGC HAS NOW REMOVED THE COLOR DESIGNATIONS FROM THE CENSUS. MINE IS THE ONLY ONE GIVEN A RD DESIGNATION, EVEN THOUGH IT IS BRONZE AND PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A COLOR DESIGNATION WHEN GRADED.
I SENT THIS MEDAL TO NGC FOR REHOLDERING IN 3/2022 TO ADD MY PEDIGREE TO IT. WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO ME, IT HAD BEEN REATTRIBUTED AS A HK-469A WHICH IS GILT INSTEAD OF HK-469B THAT IS BRONZE AS THIS MEDAL WAS ORIGINALLY ATTRIBUTED. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION WITH NGC REGARDING THIS REATTRIBUTION TO NO AVAIL, I HAVE LEFT THE PICTURES OF THE ORIGINAL HOLDER WHICH SHOWS THE ATTRIBUTION OF THIS MEDAL AS BEING BRONZE, NOT GILT.
MY NGC REGISTRY SET "BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS" WAS VOTED AS THE BEST CUSTOM SET FOR 2018 BY THE NGC REGISTRY AWARDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND THANKS TO NGC FOR THIS HONOR.
I WILL BE LISTING MANY MORE EXONUMIA ITEMS IN THE FUTURE, INCLUDING MANY SO-CALLED DOLLARS, DEWITT LISTED POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MEDALS, AND OTHER UNITED STATES HISTORIC MEDALS. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY LISTINGS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION.
