So-Called Dollars are a type of collectible coin, primarily associated with commemorative medals and tokens that were produced in the United States, particularly during the 19th century. The term "So-Called Dollars" was coined by numismatist Harold H. H. Miller in his 1941 book, which cataloged these items due to their similarity in size and appearance to the U.S. silver dollar. The 1860 So-Called Dollar refers specifically to a medal or token created to commemorate events or individuals, often featuring unique designs and historical significance. These pieces are sought after by collectors for their artistic value and connection to American history, often including depictions of important landmarks, figures, or events from that era.
