1933 HK-473B SO-CALLED DOLLAR MICHIGAN DOW METAL CENTURY OF PROGRESS NGC MS 64

Description: 1933 HK-473B SO-CALLED DOLLAR MICHIGAN DOW METAL CENTURY OF PROGRESS NGC MS 64 ONLY THE MICHIGAN MEDALS OF THIS TYPE MADE OF DOW METAL HAVE THE "DOW" LOGO OR EMBLEM ON THE REVERSE OF THE MEDAL. THERE ARE THREE VARIETIES OF THIS DOW METAL TYPE. ONE WITH THE DOW LOGO AT THE TOP, ONE WITH THE DOW LOGO AT THE LEFT, AND ONE WITH THE DOW LOGO AT THE LEFT AND NO DATE ON THE OBVERSE. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE LOGO ON THE LEFT AND NO DATE ON THE OBVERSE VARIETY, WHICH JEFF SHEVLIN'S AND BILL HYDER'S NEW SO-CALLED DOLLAR BOOK LISTS AS THE RAREST TYPE AT R-6. THE OTHER TWO TYPES ARE LISTED AS R-5 RARITY. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS "NO DATE" TYPE OUT OF WELL OVER 30 EXAMPLES THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY VIEWED. ONLY (2) MS 65'S AND (1) MS 66 FINER OF ONLY (33) LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS OF THIS TYPE AS OF 7/2023 (THIS IS FOR ALL TYPES COMBINED). AN NGC GRADED MS 63 EXAMPLE WAS SOLD BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS IN AUGUST 2021 FOR $144.00. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE THAT HERITAGE AUCTIONS HAS EVER SOLD! THIS EXAMPLE THAT HERITAGE SOLD WAS THE DOW LOGO AT THE TOP WITH DATE ON OBVERSE VARIETY. PICTURES #1 AND #2 ARE FOR THE MEDAL LISTED IN THIS AUCTION. PICTURES #3 AND #4 ARE OF THE HERITAGE AUCTIONS EXAMPLE TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TYPES. STACKS BOWERS HAS NOT SOLD ANY EXAMPLES OF HK-473B (MUST BE RARE!). DOW METAL IS A VERY LIGHTWEIGHT METAL THAT IS AN ALLOY CONTAINING AT LEAST 85% MAGNESIUM. I MUST ADMIT, EVEN THE BEST OF THESE LOOK TERRIBLE!!!! THEY SEEM LIKE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CRUMBLE IN YOUR HAND!!! BUT MINE IS THE BEST LOOKING EXAMPLE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! MY NGC REGISTRY SET "BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS" WAS VOTED AS THE BEST CUSTOM SET FOR 2018 BY THE NGC REGISTRY AWARDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND THANKS TO NGC FOR THIS HONOR. PLEASE BE ASSURED OF A FLAWLESS AND EASY TRANSACTION BY MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK WHILE SELLING MANY NUMISMATIC ITEMS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. I WILL BE LISTING MANY MORE EXONUMIA ITEMS IN THE FUTURE, INCLUDING MANY SO-CALLED DOLLARS, DEWITT LISTED POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MEDALS, AND OTHER UNITED STATES HISTORIC MEDALS. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY LISTINGS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION.
