1876 HK-29a, US Centennial Expo-Liberty Bell Dollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The star is missing on HK-29a: its obverse copies the small-bell Liberty Bell of HK-27 but leaves out the star between "Thereof" and "Proclaim" in the legend, and Hibler and Kappen note other differences besides. The reverse is the same Independence Hall die used on the small-bell series, the building shown with two trees and a statue on the grounds and the date 1776 beneath, inside a beaded border. The bell itself hangs small from its beam and bears no lettering. Like the rest of the Liberty Bell dollars, this design traces to the Philadelphia firm of Deihl and to Key, its designer, and to the run-up to the 1876 Centennial. The no-star obverse is listed in two metals only, bronze as HK-27a and white metal as this piece. It measures 38 mm.
