So-Called Dollars are a category of numismatic items that are not officially issued currency but were created to commemorate various events, individuals, or organizations, often in the form of medals or tokens. The term "So-Called Dollar" is primarily associated with pieces that measure roughly the same size as the U.S. silver dollar. The 1870 So-Called Dollar, for instance, may refer to specific commemorative pieces minted during that year, which are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistic value. These items are particularly notable in the context of American history and often reflect the cultural or political sentiments of the period in which they were created.
