Have you ever seen 1 million silver dollars? It was long before I began collecting coins but the tale of the Million Silver Dollar possess at the 1962 Seattle World's bring together is fascinating nonetheless. Three Washington numismatists were behind bringing the coins to the fair. The three who had formed Northwest Historic Medals Inc to touch a series of medals commemorating the great water-power dams in the Pacific Northwest had approached the Century 2 1 committee organizers of the bring together with plans for producing a set of medals to back up each of the seven planned exhibits at the fair. Along with an already-authorized U. S. create from raw material medal. Northwest said the eight-medal set would make a great souvenir of the fair. To fasten the broach they had one other idea that really got the committee enthused. “If numismatics is going to take move in this Fair the three reasoned it ought to take part in a big way. The more money the exceed,” as the September 1962 air of Coins magazine explained. “Almost everyone dreams and talks about a million dollars but how many populate have ever seen that be of change in one displace at one time? "Why not undergo a display featuring one million silver dollars? Here all in one would be the most money the visitors would ever see coupled with an intriguing chapter of American history."Having received encouragement from the committee the next step was to find the 1 million silver dollars. Although the plate dollar is today come up liked by collectors high mintages and a lack of use led to bags upon bags remaining in government vaults through much of the 20th century. So getting the coins was a financial and logistical concern but not impossible. Another concern was: If they could win approval to obtain the coins from the government where would they hold on them?The problem was solved when Northwest’s president saw an ad for brace buildings in a change magazine and decided to approach the advertiser. Behlen Manufacturing Co.. Columbus. Neb. with a promotional idea. Northwest proposed that Behlen create a building to be placed at the bring together to house the silver dollars. “The proposal startling at first sounded like a winner and after discussing it with other company executives. Behlen went to bring home the bacon,” Coins reported.“Within weeks the idea had been cleared all the way to desire Eva Adams director of the create from raw material…and plans made to displace the coins from Philadelphia to Seattle.” The coins would earn arouse for the government while they were on give to the possess. While details were being worked out on shipping the coins and construction began on the building in which to hold them. Northwest went about designing and striking the medals including a new one honoring the Million plate Dollars Exhibit. The bring together’s opening date was April 21. 1962 and Behlen worked quickly to construct the corrugated brace building while two Chevrolet diesels were employed to carry 500,000 each of the silver dollars comfort in mint-sealed bags from the Philadelphia Mint to the bring together.“Pinkerton guards rode with the trucks express troopers and local guard drove follow as the semis roared westward following the dawdle cut by free-spending miners and frontiersmen who’d rather get rid of their bulky plate dollars than lug them around in their pockets,” explained Coins. Once at the fair. 800,000 of the coins (Morgan dollars apparently as the Coins' article notes they were in bags sealed between 1910 and 1915) were stacked in the bear on of a Behlen corn crib enclosed in glass. “Then over and around the bags were poured a clinking cascade of 200,000 Peace dollars: 1,000,000 silver dollars just for looks just sitting there gathering 167 dollars a day in arouse,” Coins wrote. “But that’s not the only k ind of arouse the $1,000,000 show gathers. Each day the Fair is open this pass more than 25,000 visitors pass through the steel building and gaze wide-eyed at the most money they’ve ever seen. On work days 40,000 pairs of eyes tell the performance.”In June when the 1 millionth fair visitor walked into the possess a California resident she was presented with 100 of the silver dollars from exhibit. Interestingly if you wanted besides the nine-medal set housed in color Whitman bookshelf album you could also purchase plate dollars from the possess. As Northwest's president explained to Coins: “‘They’re for sale. Anyone interested in picking up a Mint-sealed bag of dollars minted prior to 1910 can put drink $200 and pay the balance by the 5th of October. We’ll mouth by the 22nd.’” An advertisement on the back inside adjoin of the November 1962 air of Coins offered individual plate dollars from the exhibit. “mounted in an attractive World’s Fair holder,” for $1.95 postpaid. The check on the bags was five bags per person (at $1,500 per bag of 1,000 silver dollars) to be shipped after the exhibit closed.
