1933-1934 So-Called Dollar HK-470a, Indian Head Dollar

Coin Details

Description

In the second Indian head design, HK-470a, the chief in his feather headdress shares the obverse with a woman's head crowned by an eagle, the two placed slightly left and right on an open field with no skyline behind. 1833 sits at the chief's neck and 1933 at the woman's, under "A Century of Progress," while "Chicago" and "World's Fair" close the bottom. The back repeats the eagle reverse of HK-470, ringed by stars and the words "Take Me" and "For Luck." Hibler and Kappen list it in brass and give no diameter for it. The Chicago fair it was sold at paid its own way through the Depression, repaying its bondholders in full with interest and closing with cash in hand, and it drew over 39 million paid admissions in two seasons.
