Description

Eads Bridge, the St. Louis span over the Mississippi, takes the reverse of HK-322e, named above the view within a very finely beaded border. The obverse is the U.S. Government Building of the 1904 fair over "Saint Louis World's Fair / 1904." It is the last of the Exhibition Palace dollars in Hibler and Kappen's listing and the only one in the series to show something beyond the fairgrounds. The federal government spent heavily on the exposition, with a five million dollar appropriation from Congress and an extensive display that included a working Mint exhibit. This piece is aluminum with a reeded edge, 36 mm.
