Coin Details

Description

This 1922 Ku Klux Klan Dollar (HK-908) is a nickel piece cataloged in the monetary section of the Hibler-Kappen so-called dollar reference. This piece is cataloged in the Hibler-Kappen reference as a monetary so-called dollar, documenting one of the darkest chapters in American social history through medallic art. The KKK Dollar is collected primarily as a historical artifact of the era's racial and social tensions, representing the troubling way that mainstream American organizations sometimes produced commemorative material for extremist movements. The so-called dollar collecting community has grown significantly since the Hibler-Kappen catalog's initial publication, with specialized dealers, dedicated reference works, and an active collector base supporting a market that values historical significance, artistic merit, rarity, and condition. Heritage Auctions, Stack's Bowers, and other major numismatic auction houses regularly feature so-called dollars in their sales.

Rarity Notes

This 1922 so-called dollar is generally scarce in the numismatic market. Nickel examples are collected by specialists in so-called dollars and American medallic art.
