So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions
Medals and Tokens Book of the Year

SCD Book Cover MAY2018 (1) The latest publication on so-called dollars by Jeff Shevlin & Bill Hyder So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions won awards at the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money as the Best Book of the Year on medals and tokens. So-called dollars are medals struck to commemorate events in the United States history.

Q. David Bowers in his preface for the book states "With it's captivating narrative, color pictures, and other details you will have an ‘I am here' experience when reading about the expositions… I suspect this will be a dangerous book to own – for it might compel you to collect so-called dollars."

So-called dollars are the hottest area in numismatics. Since coin shows and so many other events have been cancelled due to the coronavirus, now is the perfect time to pick up a good book and learn about the great International Expositions that helped develop our country. This is a story book about the eight expositions that were held on the Pacific Coast and the fascinating medals struck there.

Hardbound, 8 ½ x 11, 300-page, full color editions are $59.95. A signed and numbered collector's leather-bound edition with a medal encased in the cover that was struck from the original dies engraved by George Morgan for the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, limited to 100 copies, is available for $149.95. Shipping is $4.50 per book.

Published in conjunction with the book is the So-Called Dollar Collectors Pocket Price Guide which has photos of every medal, the compositions they were struck in, rarity information and values in five different grades, is available for $19.95.
