1877 - Coins

So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative medals and tokens that were primarily issued in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often meant to celebrate a specific event or person. The term originates from the 1877 piece commemorating the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Despite their name, So-Called Dollars are not legal tender and typically feature intricate designs that reflect the significance of the occasion they commemorate. They are collected for their historical value and artistic merit, with various examples sought after by numismatists.
