1892 - Coins

So-Called Dollars are a category of numismatic collectibles that originated in the United States during the late 19th century, particularly around 1892. They are not official currency but rather medals or tokens issued to commemorate events, individuals, or organizations, often in a dollar size. The term "So-Called Dollar" comes from the late numismatist Harold A. W. Smith, who cataloged these pieces. These collectibles can vary widely in design and are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistic merit.
