Check or Money OrderHK-296, struck to celebrate the 1902 Semicentennial of Wells Fargo & Company. Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-64. Not as dark as many copies so it was likely removed from the original case fairly quickly. The flocked paper cases typically toned pieces very heavily. Attractive light matte Silver colored surfaces with minimal marks, the only one of note a minor rim bruise visible on the Obverse side. Original designer of the dies and who struck these said to be unknown, however the work has always suggested to me Tiffany's of New York. Total number struck also unknown to any certainly, however almost certain to be in the low thousands originally, based upon the standard that a medal was presented to each employee of at least one year's service. However, the vast majority likely melted or lost over the years as only less than approx. 300 certified (272 at NGC + PCGS). For comps, Goldberg recently sold a NGC MS-63 at $2,100, with Heritage selling an MS-64 with similar lighter surfaces at $2,400 August, 2024 – my pricing accounts for these results, as well as my fees. Always popular with So Called Dollar collectors, as well as those of Old West collectibles including U. S. Gold coins due to the banking connection. Note: the case shows some light scuffing, however no damage. Please note that due to value this will require shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown. Due to recent problems with the USPS, this includes Insurance, to protect both parties to the sale - if you don't like the cost, write your Congressman ...

Check or Money OrderThis seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
