Ultra-Cameo 1892 So-Called $1 Illinois. Chicago. 1892 So-Called Dollar. World’s Columbian Exposition, Liberty Head. HK-222, Eglit-51. Aluminum. Plain Edge. Medal Turn. Proof-64 Ultra Cameo NGC. Obv: ultra-high relief head of Liberty left in inner circular field, with Phrygian cap, cereal sprigs in hair, tiara reads LIBERTY, frosted band around with 49 stars around, 1892 below, tiny WM at truncation. Rev: landing of Columbus scene within mirrored circle, frosted band reads DEDICATED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN HONOR OF THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. Dies by Wilhelm Mayer of Stuttgart, Germany. The ultra-high relief head of Liberty and the peripheral band are fully frosted and equally brilliant, while the surrounding circular field is intensely reflective. The reverse is much the same, with strongly contrasted devices and reflective fields. One of numerous tribute medals of the so-called dollars series that were offered at the Exposition in Chicago. (These are also seen in a circulation strike format.) A simply beautiful so-called dollar by any estimate!
