Description

Struck in silver, HK-311a is the precious-metal form of the good-luck dollar sold at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a private piece, not an official souvenir from the Mint exhibit. Hibler and Kappen observe that the 1904 fair produced private medals of every sort, and this one combines history with a charm: Napoleon and Jefferson on the obverse with the story of the sale in the legend, and a horseshoe, clover and stars on the reverse with "Stars and Stripes Forever." The listing begins with brass (HK-310) and continues in aluminum (HK-311), this silver piece, and gold (HK-311b). The exposition ran from April 30 to December 1, 1904. Silver, 36 mm.
