HK-420, SH 18-10 ASP, Four Portraits Dollar, a souvenir of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Certified NGC MS-63, and a bit undergraded based upon my experience with this HK. Numerous MS-63 certified pieces show obvious "rub" on the four Obverse portraits, thus breaking the Silver-plating. This piece shows only the very tiniest amount of the underlying Bronze color, mainly visible on Teddy Roosevelt's head as a difference in color. This may simply be a thin spot in the antiquing. Otherwise, this shows relatively bright surfaces for an antiqued example, and is very clean. Only 7 examples certified higher at NGC, this is a crackout candidate. NGC recently changed graders for this series, with the result that some grades seem too conservative, and certainly many grades vary widely. As a side note, I found an old listing of mine on ebay from 2017, when there were six MS-63 examples certified - now there are only 10 (including this one), which gives an idea of how tough these really are, given the increase in certifying HK's in the last 7 years. Priced based upon my opinion of value. Due to value this will require shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account.

Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
