Hello, I have had this coin for many years. I assume it is a Trade dollar. If anyone has any info on this dollar and could tell me if it has any value it would be appreciated. It is in gem uncirculated condition. Thanks.
They are referred to as So Called Dollars in the US, Trade dollars here. These sell from about $2 up - even seen some TPGed as there are varieties, with the plain brass being the most common (150K minted).
Put out by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, 1959. Listed as 3.00 in Unc. in my Alaska's Coinage through the Years catalog (page 163). I just bought this one and the Alaska Boosters dollar for $4.00 for both.
