So-Called Dollars are a type of commemorative coin or medal that were issued primarily in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often to commemorate significant events, exhibitions, or individuals. The term "So-Called Dollars" originates from the catalog compiled by Harold A. Weaver, which categorized these pieces that are typically dollar-sized but were not intended for circulation as legal tender. The 1826 So-Called Dollar is notable as it commemorates the 1826 American exhibition showcasing the nation's achievements and innovations, reflecting the artistic and cultural values of its time. Collectors value these items for their historical significance, aesthetic qualities, and the narratives they embody regarding American society and milestones.
