So-Called Dollar Discussions
How do you collect so-called dollars?
Quote from Jeff Shevlin on October 27, 2011, 1:58 pmHi Tom, I'm glad to see you're participating in the So-Called Dollar Discussion Forums. I've added a link on my home page to an interview done by David Lisot of me. I discuss the different So-Called Dollar related books Bill Hyder and I plan to publish. It is an exciting and comprehensive series of books with an agressive schedule. Any comments?

Many of these medals are now 50 years or older and are very beaultiful in there own category.... Thank you..

Medallic Art medals that meet the so-called dollar definition are candidates for inclusion and we are reviewing those that come to our attention as well as examining the Medallic Art archive. I'm curious about the Heraldic Art medals. I am under the impression that they are smaller than 33 mm and more typically in the category of so-called half dollars. Are there medals in the series 33mm or larger?

Quote from kjinva4jc on December 1, 2011, 4:09 amI am thinking that the (7) medals in the heraldic art series are 33 mm or larger. They were called occasionals and were put out for occasions such as the death of John F. Kennedy. I will have to check the couple I have and get back to you. Thank you for your response and have a great day...

Quote from recce6 on December 1, 2011, 4:21 pmI'm working with Jeff on developing his new catalog(s) for so-called dollars. He certainly has his ideas of what that project will look like and I have mine (although I come at this as a topical collector who includes so-calleds among other tokens and medals as opposed to a strictly so-called collector). We will produce a new statement on the definition of so-called dollars by the time we have finished. I come from an old school of collecting (I've been at this for over 45 years now) and am guided by what interests me, by what makes me want to tell stories about the pieces I collect. I happen to believe that catalogs help facilitate and promote collecting by providing direction and organization. To that end, a catalog can make decisions for you or facilitate your own collecting definitions and enjoyment. I think it should do the latter and that means I need to know more about how you collect. Do you collect HK numbers, topics (expositions, sporting events, state anniversaries, etc), time periods, metals, art styles, etc? What would you find useful as organizing principles for a new so-called dollar catalog? How do you feel about retaining or dropping the traditional medals covered in HK versus a more strictly applied definition of what is in and out? How do feel about unlisted so-called dollars? There are many more "unlisted" items out there than will ultimately be included. We could err in the direction of including too few unlisteds or too many unlisteds. What would you find useful for your own collecting? Ultimately, the final decision will be Jeff's as senior author and publisher, and it is his project that springs from his years of experience as a collector and dealer, but I've found I have a strong voice at the table in collaborating on the Charbneau book. I think our final product was better because of our give and take. By participating in this discussion board, you have the opportunity to become a part of the give and take and help make the final product a better product to serve collectors (i.e. yourself). We have started discussing what we think we know about how you collect, but it would be better if we hear from you directly. So, how do you collect so-called dollars?
