    Hey all!

    I was asked by a client for some info on a So-Called Dollar, but for the life of me... I can't find it.

    HK-335 is a Pike's Peak Southwest Expedition Centennial So-Called Dollar. They were made in Gold plate, Silver (proof), Silver (circulation strike), and Bronze/Brass

    Can anyone help me out with weight and composition numbers?

    I would sincerely appreciate it

    Mike

    I really appreciate that help, @Insider Cheers!!
    In the end, I found the info that I needed, well, I found a friend who had it, but it was very obscure.

    Well, will you please share it? IMO, the next SC$ book should put at least a weight range for these pieces like Breen did for Colonial coins.

    90% silver and weighs 254 grains = 16.4589 grams or roughly ½ troy ounce (a bit over)
