1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Souvenir Medal HK-303 Grades Choice+ Unc. These Official Souvenir medals (also So Called Dollars) were struck in Mint Exhibit on exposition grounds; total of all medals "about 90,000." Silver was .600 fine; sold first for $1, later for $1.25. Yellow Bronze "tarnished quickly" so was replaced by plain Bronze; these, plus Gilt, sold for 25 cents each; in Gold-plate for 50 cents. Only one medal was struck in solid Gold (see The Numismatist, January 1911, p. 5). Charles S. Muir had the contract to sell official medals. In addition to the official medals, Exposition was prolific issuer of private medals of all kinds.
