HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF SO-CALLED DOLLAR IN GILT? I THINK THE GILT SURFACE LOOKS POSSIBLY AUTHENTIC. JOHN RAYMOND'S UPDATED 2018 TABULATION SHOWS (2) OF THIS TYPE MEDAL IN "GOLD PLATE", (1) AU AND (1) UNC.

I SENT IT TO NGC FOR GRADING AND IT CAME BACK IN A BODY BAG, AS THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE GILT PLATING WAS AUTHENTIC. WHAT DOES THE FORUM HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

Bruce: Did you bring this piece up at the recently/just concluded So Called Dollar annual meeting? Bill G

I really like this piece. I submitted a good piece of my collection for grading last month and put in a half dozen off metal pieces and they only graded 1 and returned the other 5 pieces. But got 6 new top pop pieces.

Billy,

I was not able to attend this year. Hope to be able to attend next year.
