So-Called Dollars
1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition Thomas Elder Gold Dollar MS64 NGC. HK-1030. 19 mm, plain edge. Although unlisted by DeLorey, the second edition of Hibler-Kappen ascribes this variety to early 20th century numismatic auctioneer Thomas Elder. Research by Western souvenir gold expert Mike Locke indicates that New York City jeweler H. Kroll struck the issue for Elder. The variety is very rare: Burnie (1955) knew of three pieces; Art Kagin later estimated 5 to 6 survivors. None have appeared in a Heritage auction since lot 6609 in our 2000 Central States Signature. This is a well struck and lovely apricot-gold example. (Est. $2,500-$3,500).
