HK-371

ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-371 NGC GRADED MS 67.

"ONLY 50-100 STRUCK" ACCORDING TO THE SO-CALLED DOLLAR BOOK.

ONLY (1) MS 68 FINER OF ONLY (24) LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS (8/2019). ANOTHER MS 67 EXAMPLE WAS SOLD FOR $4,025.00 BY STACKS BOWERS IN 2009.

AUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THIS MEDAL:
A lovely gold medallion "daalder" at every turn. The luster is superb and the frosty matte surfaces gleam throughout with deep yellow tones. Sharp and appealing, and no doubt one of the finest Hudson-Fulton gold daalders in existence.

To commemorate 300th anniversary of discovery of Hudson River and centenary of successful steamboat navigation.

Contradictory information as to number of pieces issued in various metals appears in Elder sales catalogs, beginning 1909 and extending over many years. At one point it was stated "only 100 struck," at another "less than 50 struck" and then, "contrary to expectations, only a few were struck"--all referring to same medal. In any event, all Elder issues were quite limited.
