1933 CO SC$1 HK-867 Century of Progress MS64 认证号46909840, PCGS号643649

From the Jeff Shevlin NGC Collection. This was the first of the 1933 SC$1 Century of Progress dollars commissioned by Denver to participate in the 1933 "World's Fair" with the mintage of just a mere 200 being struck. The unique design is like none other. At the time silver was selling and or trading at .28 cents an ounce and the SC$1 were being sold @ $1.25 each to help with raising funds for Colorado. Today's surviving population is less than 12+ at most between NGC and PCGS combined. Crossed over from a MS64 NGC this example helped in creating a set for the PCGS registry and was certainly a challenge. Most of these coins according to the SC$1 experts in the know have agreed that most of these dollars went to local government officials first and what coins were leftover sold quickly afterwards to collectors. Considered scarce in today's numismatic circles is the 1933 HK-867 Colorado Century of Progress Type I. The obverse text on this So-Called Dollar reads "A Century of Progress Souvenir Colorado" and the reverse text is "One Avdp. Ounce Fine Silver 1933, Silver Will restore prosperity to Colorado". The front side of the coin shows the state seal of Colorado in the center with an all seeing eye above and a banner below, text surrounds the inner design with a flat wide rimmed border. The backside of the coin depicts six lines of text excluding the date at the bottom of the coin, the top line of text is curved to follow the contour of the border. Excessively rare to collectors partly due to the early distribution to local and state officials first. Each SC$1 is made of 100% silver purity thus finding a high-grade example problem free accounts for its scarcity. Each dollar is struck on 38.00 diameter disc with flat rims. Rarity of 6
