Quote from Pioneer on January 20, 2013, 4:25 pmI've noticed a few numismatic items over the past few years related to the "State Fund" SCDs of the PPIE that I thought i'd post. I've often wondered if there are actually any undiscovered PPIE State Fund So-Called dollars outside of the listed 2nd ed of the book (ie. HK-402 to HK-413). Perhaps one day we will find one. In any event, here is a die trial piece for a Wisconsin State Fund Dollar I saw last year.

Attelboro" on the back. This company appeared to have made HK-404, HK-408, HK-410, HK-410b, & HK-413 while many of the others were made by Whitehead & Hoag Co of Newark NJ.

Per Fred Holabird, this was made by Frank Golden (1862-1911) who came from Ireland in 1880 and ran a jewelry business in Virginia City. The business later moved to Reno, NV. Elsewhere on this site is a nice award medal that Jeff posted giving award to the State of Nevada at the PPIE as well.

The "Baroque" shield is actually the state shield of Nebraska, so one could actually view HK-419 as a SCD representing the state of Nebraska. I would think this SCD is likely from a "Nebraska Day" celebration day at the PPIE as opposed to being an actual "state fund" SCD, but in either event, it's good to know this information.

As you know I collected the Slug Facsimiles for 20 + years and listed it in my Reference Guide as HK425A. I reviewed the Slug with Mike Locke and Brian Silliman at NGC. The reverse is HK425, the obverse with Columbia walking thru the Panama Canal is the only one I had ever seen. It is one of several PP Slugs missing from the HK listing. Take care ! .. tj edited by AOEDAD on 11/25/2015
