Owner's Description

FROM THE FAMOUS JEFF SHEVLIN COLLECTION. PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM JEFF. WORLD'S FAIR DOLLAR. Designed by H. C. Kreis, struck by Medallic Art Co. and sold by Manufacturers Trust Co. at its Exposition branch beginning June 23, 1939. Dubbed World's Fair Dollar probably because it cost $1, was silver with reeded edge and length was about equal to diameter of silver dollar. Originally intended to be round, but changed to elliptical at last minute to comply with slug laws promulgated by the vending machine industry. It is .900 fine, containing 59.06% of silver content of silver dollar.
