This coin is part of the intriguing "So-Called Dollars" series as cataloged by Hibler & Kappen. Specifically, it is a $1 (One Dollar) denomination piece dated 1861, representing an important historical artifact from the United States of America. Crafted with a diameter of 34 mm, this coin reflects the artistic and cultural practices of its time, although specific design details, mint marks, and materials are not provided in this case. The absence of a mint mark indicates that it was not produced in a specific mint facility, further suggesting it may have been either a commemorative or a novelty coin rather than standard currency. Interestingly, the stated weight and other physical properties such as edge type are not available, leaving some characteristics of the coin open to interpretation. The production type is classified as a "Mint Strike," indicating it was officially produced, but the mintage is cited as zero, which might imply either a very limited release or that it was never officially struck for circulation. Overall, this 1861 So-Called Dollar embodies not only a unit of currency but also a piece of historical significance, making it a potentially valuable collector's item for those interested in numismatics and American history.
