HK-15A, 1870 Pilgrim Jubilee Memorial, Gilt, NGC MS-64
HK-15A, struck for the 1870 Pilgrim Jubilee celebration to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the landing. Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-64. 36mm, struck in Copper and Gilt (Gold Plated), by Scovill Manufacturing of Waterbury, CT. HK-15 as listed in HK as "Brass" may not exist per se, as all examples have been certified as "15A". Scarcer than the Silver-plated version (HK-13), by a wide margin - the unplated Copper version is the rarest composition other than a couple of odd-ball White Metal pieces known, likely struck to Scovill's own account. R-5 in the Second Ed of H-K, the average Unc grade tends to be 63/64, with very few finer. Not too commonly seen, with the last ebay sale I could find back in 2023 (MS-63 at $350). Previously, in Jan. 2022, one of the 5 NGC MS-65's sold at $600. Priced somewhere in between.
