Comments
1876 Nevada Silver, HK-19, Silver, 38.1 mm, "rare" in HK. A lustrous Mint State piece, fairly prooflike and with a touch of gold toning on the obverse rim. Apparently physics was not Chief Engraver William Barber's strong suit. In the mining scene on the reverse, steam from a train blows in one direction, while smoke from a nearby chimney blows in the opposite direction.
