HK-762
Quote from Kevin Himber on January 9, 2016, 5:07 pmIt's very nice, and it's hard to say what it would/could sell for. If you get two bidders against one another, it could go up to $400-$600, but given that I have seen these medals for sale before, I can't see someone spending thousands unless they absolutely have a thing for this particular piece. I think something like $200 is low... i'd pay more that that for this piece if it were on the open market.... but not thousands.

Quote from Jeff Shevlin on January 13, 2016, 5:57 pmI recently came across what appears to be a mule of the Tower of the Sun Dollar and the Type I Lord's Prayer (the Protestant variety with "...forgive us our debts") https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/24139492431/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/23593836774/in/photostream/ I would tentatively catalog this as a 479a but I could also see 490b being an equally valid way to shoehorn it in. Thoughts?

Quote from Kevin Himber on January 16, 2016, 12:56 pmI believe that this is an extremely rare SCD. Has anyone ever seen one in person?

Quote from Pioneer on February 20, 2016, 12:07 pmBeautiful HK-762. I love that it's on the hangar! I certainly agree with Jeff.... very rare. I think the last time I saw one for sale was in 2012. I only have the attached piece with an HK-762 obverse which is presumably a variety issued for the same statue dedication event in 1891 in Lexington VA. edited by rjesinger on 1/17/2016
