ANNUAL SO-CALLED DOLLAR COLLECTORS POCKET PRICE GUIDE PACIFIC COAST EXPOSITIONS

Description

So-Called Dollar Collectors Pocket Price Guide
JUST RELEASED
The annual “So-Called Dollar Collectors Pocket Price Guide” provides values for so-called dollars and is published in conjunction with the book “So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions”.  Eight expositions were held on the Pacific Coast:
• 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition
• 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition
• 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
• 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition
• 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition
• 1935-36 California Pacific International Exposition
• 1939-40 Golden Gate International Expositions
• 1962 Seattle World’s Fair Exposition
In addition to providing values for so-called dollars from the pacific coast expositions in grades EF-40, AU-50, MS-60, MS-63 and MS-65, the Pocket Price Guide has high quality photos of each type, rarity information and identifies all the various metal compositions they were struck in.  There is a check box for each variety with room for notes so collectors can keep track of what they have and what they are looking for.  Each year additional so-called dollars will be added to the Pocket Price Guide until all so-called dollars are included.
So-called dollars are historical U.S. medals that commemorate a person, place or event in the United States history.  They are 33mm to 45mm in size.
There are dozens and dozens of medals included in the book that were never before cataloged.  Using the 1905 Lewis & Clark exposition as an example, the reference book by Hibler and Kappen originally published in 1963 catalogs four different design types and a total of 14 varieties, considering different metal compositions.  The new standard reference for the Lewis & Clark Exposition expands from four design types to 16 different design types and from 14 varieties to 30 different varieties.
Collectors interested in medals from the eight expositions held on the Pacific Coast will now have photos and information on medals they probably did not know existed.  The Pocket Price Guide and soon to be released book “So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions” authored by Jeff Shevlin and Bill Hyder are a collaborative effort involving dozens of collectors that have shared their knowledge and many years of research.  The book tells the fascinating numismatic stories of the eight expositions held on the Pacific Coast and catalogs all of the historically significant so-called dollars struck at those expositions.
