Dennis Tucker, publisher, Whitman Publishing, said regarding the Wilson Dollar 100 Year Anniversary medals, “The Wilson Dollar is one of the most historically significant issues among the medals numismatists identify as ‘So-Called Dollars.’ We value it for the unique way it connects the people of the United States to the people of the Philippines—a golden (and silver and bronze!) symbol of a deeply important connection that resonates to this day.” “In Whitman’s Mega Red, the expanded edition of the Red Book, we devote more than a page and a half to the Wilson Dollar. This is a measure of the importance of this intriguing, richly layered, and many-storied medal.”

New Book: So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions
The latest publication on so-called dollars by Jeff Shevlin & Bill Hyder “So-Called Dollars from the Pacific Coast Expositions“ won awards at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money as the Best Book of the Year on medals and tokens. We hope you order it and know you will enjoy reading it.
Q. David Bowers in his preface for the book states “With its captivating narrative, color pictures, and other details you will have an ‘I am here’ experience when reading about the expositions… I suspect this will be a dangerous book to own – for it might compel you to collect so-called dollars.”
Hardbound, 8 ½ x 11, 320 page, full color editions are $59.95. A signed and numbered collector’s leather bound edition, limited to 100 copies, is available for $149.95. An exclusive commemorative medal will be encased in the cover of each collectors leather bound edition. Shipping is $4.50 per book.
