1904 So-Called Dollar HK-311, 4 Mo Good-Luck Dollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
A horseshoe wrapped in ribbon, with a four-leaf clover over it, fills the reverse of HK-311, the aluminum version of the Louisiana Purchase good-luck piece; the ribbon reads St. Louis, 1903-4 and Exposition, and the words Good and Luck flank it. Small lettering at the sides shows the design was patented in 1903. The obverse uses Napoleon and Jefferson in conjoined busts with a legend saying that one sold Louisiana and the other bought it on April 30th, 1803. April 30 was also the date chosen for the exposition's opening, first in 1903, when only dedication ceremonies could be held, and then for the actual opening in 1904. The brass original is HK-310. Aluminum, 36 mm.
