Coin Details

Auction Record

Description

HK-25 is a copper Liberty Bell dollar of the large-bell type, and Hibler and Kappen set it apart as a die variety: the 6 in each date is rounded, a period follows "XXV" on the obverse, and there are other small differences from the dies used for the silver, bronze, gilt and white metal pieces (HK-23, HK-24, HK-24a and HK-26). The design is Key's, made and sold by the Deihl firm in Philadelphia in the years leading up to 1876. Its obverse shows the bell with its cast-in lettering, the founders' names and the year of recasting, between 1776 and 1876, with the Leviticus verse around. Its reverse is Independence Hall with the building dates 1729 and 1734 below, no trees in front, and Key's signature in minute letters. The piece is copper and measures 38 mm.
