HK-870, Century of Progress Colorado Dollar, Type 4, NGC MS-67, Great Color!

$2,849.00

HK-870, Colorado Dollar Type IV, from the 1933/34 Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago.  Superb Gem Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-67.  Tied for the Top Pop with six other examples, although I doubt many if any have the overall eye appeal of this example.  The Obverse is an overall light blue-grey with red-yellow highlights out at the rims.  The Reverse is a monster, with a bright yellow-red center progressing to darker orange-red, with electric blue rims.  My images are accurate but don't really do the piece justice.  I was able to trace transactions for four of the other 6 examples.  Heritage sold two examples, cert #2166838-001 and #2204629-007 Sept. 2007 at $374 each.  The first of those two (-001) sold again August 2020 on ebay at $395, stupid cheap.  Heritage sold cert #2595193-001 Nov. 2015 at $353; reholdered with a Bruce Thomas pedigree, it sold on ebay October, 2022 at $765.  Bruce's was the nicest of the three mentioned but showed somewhat uneven toning overall, seemingly typical of toned examples.  Most recently, Heritage sold cert #3731571-003, also nicely toned but again somewhat uneven overall, at $1,260.  That owner is actively pursuing offers through Heritage, and has turned down three offers over $2,200, the last at $2,575 (Feb. 2023)!  Given all that, and accepting that results at Heritage might be subject to the oddities of their client list, I can't ignore at this might be worth North of $2,500.  So I am throwing this out there with a stupid "pretty premium" number and will consider offers; just be polite please.  I am not an idiot, nor am I ignorant of what the market says this “should” be worth. However, I am in no rush to dispense with this, and once sold its gone …
