BOOK REVIEW: PACIFIC COAST EXPO SO-CALLED DOLLARS

The Annual So-Called Dollar Collectors Pocket Price Guide, Pacific Coast Expositions, 1st Edition, by Jeff Shevlin, is a soft cover, 68-page reference which has all the types illustrated in full color. If you collect these So- Called Dollars its very handy “pocket size” of about 4 ¼ by 8 3/8 inches, makes it very easy for you to carry with you. It is a price guide with SH (Shevlin) numbers cross-referenced with the So-Called Dollars 2nd Edition by Hibler and Kappen (Harold E. Hibler & Charles V. Kappen).

The first two pages cover the Introduction, Table of Contents and the Rarity Guide which covers R-1 – Over 5000 known to R-10 Unique 1 known. The reference covers the eight Pacific Coast expositions held between 1894 and 1962.

The remainder of the book lists all the medals issued by the following eight expositions: 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition, 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, 1909 Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. 1935-36 California Pacific International Exposition, 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition and 1962 Seattle World’s Fair Exposition. Each medal gives the rarity, metal, and prices for either five or six grades along with a color picture of both sides of the medal. SH numbers cross-reference the HK numbers at the end of the book. All 152 medals are covered.

We have known the author for many years and know the love and dedication he has for not only the Pacific Coast Exposition Medals listed in this reference but all the So–Called Dollars that have ever been issued.
