Thought i'd post a photo of the new SF Bay Bridge as seen from clipper cove on Treasure island... taken this past Summer during a so-called gathering.

I recently acquired the following unlisted so-called dollar from the Lewis and Clark exposition: The brass medal is 36.02mm in diameter. Although the medal had been abraded at 6 o'clock on the reverse, the text removed reads, MAYER BROS. / SEATTLE, WASH." Mayer Brothers had the government sales contract for the AYP Exposition in Seattle in 1909 and made a number of so-called dollars. For a variety of reasons, I believe they made the Lewis & Clark / U.S. Government building so-called dollars cataloged by Hibler & Kappen. The piece is also found with a slot at the top for use as a fob.
