This lot consists of two items, the HK-466 SCD plus an unstruck Blank Planchet made for this medal. The Blank Planchet is hundreds of times rarer than the medal. Along the outside edge of the medal is a large gear, there is a horizontal “V8” superimposed on each other pointing to the left. Microscopic “c WDT” at the bottom. A large but thin “V8” on the reverse. What appeared to be modern replicas struck from different dies with squared letters, 2mm larger and in various compositions, were sold around 2012. Henry Ford choose not to participate in the 1933 COP, but built the Ford Rotunda and did participate in 1934. The 1933 “Ford Radiator” so-called dollar, HK 465, has been excluded from our listing.
