CAC - This So-Called Dollar was struck at the U.S. Mint's exhibit during the U.S. Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The World's Fair celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and took place from May 31 through November 30th, 1926. These coins were struck in copper, brass, gold-plated copper, nickel, and gold-plated nickel. These So-Called Dollars were struck for collectors on demand, who likely chose their desired metal composition for a nominal fee. Copper pieces were struck by different, higher-relief dies. In addition to the main exposition, the U.S. Mint also attended the "post-exhibition" period, which ran in December. The attendance did not meet projections. Note: At this time, CAC Grading will grade So-Called Dollars as long as they were struck by the U.S. Mint. This piece is graded CAC AU58.
