Formerly lot 2060 in the Pittman Sale (Akers, 5/98), where they were described as follows: "HK-867 is rare with only 300 issued. HK-868 and HK-869 are both very scarce; just 2,000 were struck of each type and most were melted. Only 700 were actually issued of HK-868. HK-870 is common and reportedly 10,000 pieces were struck, although many were undoubtedly subsequently melted."
