1884 Robert E. Lee Statue, HK-758, R.6, MS64 NGC. Pewter, 45
mm. Obverse statue with fence surrounding landscaped area, around
NEW ORLEANS FEB. 22 1884, PEIFFER BROS PHILA. on exergual line.
Reverse wreath, SOUVENIR / UNVEILING OF STATUE / GEN. ROBERT E. LEE
/ FEB. 22, 1884 / BORN JAN. 19, 1807 / DIED OCT. 12, 1870.
Steel-gray patina daubed with blue and silvery prooflike luster
around the devices make this an attractive example of this rare and
elusive issue. This appears to be the sole certified survivor at
NGC, as even this piece has yet to show in its online Census
Report (5/08). It is clearly the first time Heritage has
ever offered a certified example in any grade.
