1892-1893 So-Called Dollar HK-177b, 93) Il Admin Bld - Fisheries Bld ScDollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The Fisheries Building, lettered as two hundred feet by a thousand with a cost of 200,000 dollars, shares this brass piece with the Administration Building, square at 260 feet and costing 450,000. Each design began life as the reverse of a Columbus-bust medal, the Administration side on HK-176 and HK-177 and the Fisheries side on HK-193 to HK-195, and here the two building faces were struck against each other. HK-177b is the brass version of the combination; HK-177a is aluminum. The listing records the metal but no size for this pair. Both buildings sat in the White City built to honor four centuries since Columbus's landfall, dedicated in October 1892, opened by President Cleveland on May 1, 1893, and closed on November 2 of that year.
