Auction Record

Description

This commemorative so-called dollar (this catalog number) from 1907 celebrates DeLorey-11 PE Ericsson-Fulton. The 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle celebrated the development of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, featuring Olmsted Brothers landscape design on the University of Washington campus. Brass so-called dollars occupy a middle ground in both cost and appearance between copper/bronze and silver issues. The alloy's hardness produces sharp strikes that retain detail well over time. Miscellaneous national commemorative medals were produced by a wide range of manufacturers, from the U.S. Mint to local die-sinkers, covering subjects from presidential inaugurations to infrastructure milestones. So-called dollars — defined as privately issued medals approximately the size of a silver dollar — encompass one of the most diverse and historically rich collecting fields in American numismatics.
