So-Called Dollars are a type of commemorative or novelty token that often bear the same aesthetic and size as American silver dollars but are not official currency. The term "So-Called Dollar" was popularized by Harold A. Weaver, who published a reference guide on the subject. The 1908 So-Called Dollar commemorates the Jamestown Exposition, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, and serves as an important piece in both numismatic and American historical contexts. Collectors value these tokens for their unique designs and historical significance, making them sought-after items in the world of collectible coins.
