TheBurnz Pillar of the Community Canada 586 Posts	Posted 10/24/2019 12:06 pm Hello, I was looking a local auction and notice this medal/token/coin is up for bids. I did some research on the item and saw that it has different identifications on the certification slaps. This one has the HK-390 ms others have HK-391 msbn and HK-392 MS. What are these identifications for? Thank you, Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 10/24/2019 1:24 pm HK refers to the Hibler & Kappen book on So-Called Dollars. The corresponding number is their ID number for the particular item. The HK books are hard to find and rather expensive, and the latest edition is over 10 years old. If the reference is to the 2008 edition, the HK numbers you listed are for Brian Boru dollars - very desirable pieces. MS, MSBN, etc. is the same for coinage - Mint State, brown, and so forth. Edit: adding link to website. You can probably find most of what you need here: Quote: https://www.so-calleddollars.com/index.html "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Edited by Bump111 10/24/2019 1:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TheBurnz Pillar of the Community Canada 586 Posts	Posted 10/24/2019 5:31 pm Very helpful, thank you. I had another question in regards on the metal content. I know they are made of aluminum and some of silver. The auction house said that the AG on the slab means argent(silver in French) is this true? Report this Post to the Staff

HK-390 was produced in silver. HK-392 is the aluminum version. By the way: HK-391 (bronze) is extremely rare. If they are offering one of those, it should go for crazy money.
