Next to the Lesher Dollars I've never seen another SCD in a PCGS holder...
Anyone ever see another example of this 1920 Wilson Dollar HK-449 graded by PCGS

items like that have more of a claim to being legitimate things which would fit into the narrow PCGS window than the SC$'s they actually encapsulate, Lesher's. from everything i read the Lesher Dollars have noclaim to being a Mint medal; as a matter of fact, the dies for striking them were at one time confiscated by Federal agents if i recall things correctly. the only reason i can see that PCGS bothers to encapsulate them is in a name-----Zerbe.

In the old days any numismatist worth his salt collected the silver commems. The Norse was always considered the 51st commem. Although it did not have a monetary value it was still considered a commem. Read a story once on why that was, by that I mean why it didn't have a value and why collectors considered it a commem, but have forgotten the reasons. Getting old does that to one.
Have never seen the Wilson SCD before, but I like it. Thanks for sharing it with us Mr. Broadstruck sir. Just out of curiosity, what's something like that sell for. I have the 2 MacArthur coins from the Philippines, the 50 centavos and the one peso. Looked on eBay for a Wilson SCD but to no avail. If it can't be found on eBay it's probably rare.

speaking of the Norse commem, in addition to the thick and thin planchet variations there are also rare strikes in bronze and gold (unique in the case of the gold i believe)
