So-Called Dollars are a type of collectible medal or token, often produced to commemorate a specific event or person. The term "So-Called Dollars" was coined by numismatist Harold W. Hays in his 1934 reference work, which documented these items that resemble U.S. dollar coins but are not official currency. The 1884 So-Called Dollar, specifically SC 1, commemorates the dedication of the Brooklyn Bridge and features designs symbolizing the connection between Brooklyn and Manhattan. These collectibles are sought after for their historical significance and unique artistry.
