Coin Details

Description

This 1939 exposition monetary so-called dollar (HK-1033) is a piece cataloged in the monetary section of the Hibler-Kappen so-called dollar reference. These exposition pieces bridge the commemorative and monetary categories in the Hibler-Kappen catalog, as they were produced in connection with exposition events but carry monetary themes or denominations. They document the American tradition of combining commerce, education, and celebration at large public gatherings. The so-called dollar collecting community has grown significantly since the Hibler-Kappen catalog's initial publication, with specialized dealers, dedicated reference works, and an active collector base supporting a market that values historical significance, artistic merit, rarity, and condition. Heritage Auctions, Stack's Bowers, and other major numismatic auction houses regularly feature so-called dollars in their sales.
