I see there isn't a category for these, maybe there should be one. Any way I've been on the hunt for one of these for a long time. I've even bid on some, but yesterday I was able to land one.
I think I have some confusion on these. I always thought the Williams Jennings Bryant "Free Silver" movement of the late 1800's that spawned a batch of politically themed pieces that generally showed a value of "Not Worth A Damn" were what we deemed as "so called dollars".... Am I off base here?
If you go to the link provided, the book description has an explanation for what "so-called dollars" are.
I've got to check that out I've got to check that out. I've always been curious about "so-called-dollars" but never knew much about them. I'm sure I have a few in my collections somewhere. Bruce
Here's another SCD, this one was minted by George Soley, I'm pretty sure the one shown by @dwhiz was also made by Soley! He's the US Mint employee who used to take his steam powered coin press to various World's Fairs in the late 1800's to sell his medals and tokens! I included an article when Soley was stopped from selling his 13mm prayer tokens at the Philly Mint. Yeah one of my albums above has quite a few prayer tokens and others, if anyone is interested! https://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/US_Centennial.html
