Comments:
This Golden Gate So-Called Dollar is in very nice original condition. The fields have some abrasions through the gilt on both sides, and some rub on the high points, all due to normal handling and storage. It has not been cleaned and has nice original color and lots of luster.
According to Wikipedia
:
The
Golden Gate International Exposition
(1939 and 1940), was held at San Francisco’s Treasure Island, was a World’s Fair celebrating the city's two newly built bridges. The “San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge” opened in 1936 and the “Golden Gate Bridge” in 1937. The exposition opened from February 18, 1939, through October 29, 1939, and from May 25, 1940, through September 29, 1940.
This So-Called Petroleum Dollar will make a great addition to either your So-Called Dollar, Golden Gate International Exposition, World’s Fair, petroliana or vintage medal collection.
