Soil Conservation Society HK-574a White Metal
Quote from Pioneer on February 14, 2015, 7:39 pmI have seen several HK-574 pieces over the years, but in the recent 2015 Stacks auction, I saw a white metal version (HK-574a) -- image attached. I was not aware this piece came in white metal. Congrats to the new owner ($620 later...) I was interested in this piece but too rich for me... edited by rjesinger on 2/14/2015
Don't often see an MS-67 at that price

Quote from billycgribble on February 15, 2015, 6:39 pmHi Jeff, Received the 337 today and let me tell you, to a really rough week, this has truly been a remedy. I am 110% satisfied with the purchase. In your note within the package, you mentioned the specimen having great eye-appeal. Whoa, boy, you weren't kidding. For an AU-58, the piece is lustrous, brilliant and has almost a "proof-like" feel to it when comparing the fields vs. the devices. I can see why it's a 58 with the handling/contact marks and minimal wear, but nonetheless, the brilliance of the specimen "literally" outshines anything distracting. For the grade, I think it is top-notch and for a specimen so rare, I am thankful I reached out to you initially because not only was I able to obtain the two rarest SC$1's of the Pike's Peak Centennial series (HK-335;337), but I have a feeling this is the start of a great business relationship as it seems you have in your possession many rare specimens most don't have or simply can't acquire. So again, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to purchase the 337, that really means a lot that of the 4 known problem-free "graded" specimens by NGC, you felt comfortable selling one to me, and at a discount when I know you could have made more. I'll reach out again come tax-return time in the hopes of purchasing something new. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying the newest addition to my collection.

Quote from Pioneer on January 1, 2020, 5:51 pmTo all the readers... beware of buying any white metal or aluminum HK-574.... I think someone either found a horde of them or has the dies and had a bunch restruck. The number of restrikes could be in the 100s to 1000s.... watch out....
