Description

(1897) Bickford Dollar, HK-835, MS67 NGC. Aluminum with a brass center. Listed as "very rare" in the original Hibler-Kappen reference. New York City resident Dana Bickford traveled to Europe, where he had difficulty exchanging dollars into foreign currency. This experience led him to lobby the U.S. Mint to produce patterns, such as the famous Stellas of 1879 and 1880. He continued his cause in 1897 with a series of informational medals. Lustrous and immaculate with attractive gold and green toning on the brass center.
