1898 Trans-Mississippi So-Called $1 Nebraska. Omaha. 1898 So-Called Dollar. Trans-Mississippi Exposition. HK-281. Silver. Plain Edge. Medal Turn. Genuine – PCGS. Obv: bust of woman to left in local period garb, date below, TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION around. Rev: Native American on horseback to left with spear hunting bisonus americanus, large 1848 in exergue. Nicely Mint State to our eyes, but evidently not nice enough for a former steward of the piece – there is a patch of scratches in the obverse field near the back of the woman’s head. Otherwise, fully lustrous with a warm pale golden sheen throughout. The obverse model is a composite of “the most beautiful women in the Trans-Mississippi country,” according to one recollection of the time. This medal was struck at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition by the U.S. Mint Exhibit from dies created in Philadelphia at the Mother Mint. Accounts of the era suggest some “25,000 of these coins were sold;” we don’t feel it’s that common. Worth much more than a casual glance.
