Quote from Pioneer on July 26, 2013, 8:31 pmI acquired this white metal 35mm unlisted so-called dollar recently (inexpensively) that celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the city of Gloucester MA. This celebration was held in the late Summer (24-26 August 1892). The obverse has a design akin to (but a different die) HK-630, HK-633, & HK-634. The reverse has an image of a sailboat and lighthouse and "Old Cape Ann." I consider this piece something that likely belongs with the other HKs just mentioned. I'm still researching if this piece was struck by W.H. Warner & Bros of Philadelphia or someone else. I attached some images from the town celebration program. Please post any information on this piece if you can assist.
