So-Called Dollar dealer Jeff Shevlin and William D. Hyder announced the release of their new book, So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions. It is an illustrated reference and is the second in a series of books Shevlin plans to publish to redefine and expand the field of collecting So-Called Dollars. The preface is written by Q. David Bowers.
Shevlin and co-author William D. Hyder share the stories, history, and events of the expositions that were held on the Pacific Coast. From the 1894 California Midwinter Exposition through the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair there were eight major expositions held on the Pacific Coast. The heart of the book is the in-depth analysis of all of the So-Called Dollars, historical U.S. medals, associated with those great expositions. Dozens of previously unknown medals and varieties are identified that will help collectors interested in this fascinating series of historical medals.
