History and Overview
In preparation for the Susan B. Anthony small-sized dollar coinage, thousands of clad-metal “tokens” were made at the Mint, the weight and diameter of an Anthony dollar, and with 11 sides to the inner rim. The central areas consisted simply of raised machine-turned areas. These were given to makers of coin-detection devices and vending machines to test their utility and application.
Greysheet News
While reviewing the initial results in various categories of recent auctions, my initial take is that the sales were moderate to strong.
More than 300 lots, consisting of high quality Walking Liberty half dollars from the Mack C. Chase Collection are set to cross the auction block as part of Stack's Bowers Galleries' November Showcase Auction, the official auction of the Whitman Expo.
