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

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 (which also accounts for my fees to sell this), with a Make an Offer option, and will listen to "suggestions" - just be polite please.  Please note that due to value, this will require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time; please take this into account prior to considering a purchase.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. 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.

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.
