Farran Zerbe seems to be a rather enigmatic person...having 1921 Morgans specically stuck on his behalf as a "friend of the Mint."
Appearmatly he also sold gold tokens in 1904 at Louisiana Purchase exposition in New Orleans and at the 1915 San Francisco Pan Pac Exposition.

-Zerbe, Farren [sic], Gold Dollar Legal Tender on hickory hemlock, wooden souvenir card, $32.50.
That value is among the highest for all items listed for that expo.
