Hibler and Charles V. Kappen.&nbsp; My catalog reference is a revised and edited 2nd Edition.&nbsp; This So-Called Dollar is designated in the catalog H-K 410b (bronze).&nbsp; It is shown as rarity R-7 in the second edition catalog, indicating only 11 to 20 known pieces at that time.&nbsp; Obviously a number of pieces have been found since and a NGC AU-55 sold at auction for $300 in September 2018.&nbsp; Your example appears to be a much lower grade,&nbsp; with noticeable rim damage. It is difficult to assign a value based on the photos and not having it “in hand”.</p><p>It should be noted that it is difficult for me to verify that your example is bronze from the photos. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although the original official strikes are of bronze, off metal (aluminum, white metal alloy, etc.) unofficial strikes sometime occur using the original dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on a very interesting collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
