I won this aluminum 1892 Columbian Exposition PR66 Liberty Head HK-222 so called dollar for $632.50. I had paid more for one just several months ago. The lot before this one went for so much less because I could not get my computer to bid on it. There were too many of these HK-222 being auctioned off in the same auction. They seems to be an oversupply of these at the moment, depressing the prices.
Heritage's description of this piece is head on:
<< <i>1892 Liberty Head Dollar, PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Eglit-51, HK-222. High relief. Aluminum, 35 mm. These beautiful pieces were struck for the 1892-93 World's Fair in Chicago. The current piece seems nearly perfect and deserving of a higher grade, but closer examination reveals a minor rim disturbance at 7 o'clock on the reverse, which could be the grade-limiting factor. Census: 18 in 66, 13 finer (7/08). >>

Amazing Picture!
Thank Brandon, looked like your table had a pretty good flow of people. I hovered looking a couple times over there.
