Click on the links below to view so called dollars that were not listed in the original 1962 edition of Hibler and Kappen's book(HK). As of February 2009 I have added in about 50 new ones for a total of 271. A few of the pieces, especially some of the major world's fair pieces, can be found in the updated second edition of Hibler and Kappen's book published in 2008. A few more are listed in "United States Tokens 1700 - 1900" by Russell Rulau. Most of the Washington pieces are listed in "Medallic Portraits of Washington 2nd edition" by Rulau and Fuld. All of the pieces listed were minted prior to January 1st 1960, are unholed and unlooped, and show no signs of loops having been removed. Next to each piece I have included a small amount of information, including diameters and my best guess as to rarity. I am generally more uncertain of the rarities of unlisted pieces than I am of listed ones, but I gave it my best shot. I used the same descriptions as used in HK(common, scarce, very scarce, rare, very rare, extremely rare). I did not include any "off metal" unlisted pieces(HK 1 in Copper for instance). Included are unlisted die pairings and completely unlisted types as follows:

  1. both sides exist in the 1962 edition of HK but on different HK numbers (the reverse of HK42 combined with the reverse of HK46 for example).
  2. one side exists in the 1962 edition, but the other side does not.
  3. neither side exists anywhere in the 1962 edition.

After excluding a number of different categories that were generally not included in HK(advertising pieces, award medals for instance), my basic interpretation of the book suggests that one or both sides of the piece should commemorate something (or someone) that was of "public" interest, usually a public event. I have also collected some pieces that are probably borderline or outside of HK's original guidelines, and maybe I'll put up images of those later.

So called dollars can be grouped in a number of different ways. The groups that I came up with seemed to work well for me with what I had. A few of the pieces could just as easily have been placed in one group as another. All pieces are numbered, but my numbering could change over time.
