***Auction Highlight*** NGC 1896 S-17 HK-786 Bryan & Spaulding & Co. Bryan Dollar $1 Graded au58 By NGC. Up for Auction, in a cool oversized NGC holder is a Bryan Dollar. Bryan refers to William Jennings Bryan and the Political campaigns of 1896 and 1900. These medals were made by Eastern silversmiths during Presidential campaigns of 1896 and 1900. They were more dignified in tone than many contemporary pieces issued for the same purpose, as latter usually were struck in base metal and were most satirical of Bryan and his cause. These silver medals showed comparative size and ratio of a dollar struck at the then-current price of silver with what it would be like if free coinage were to rule. They are much more than mere political pieces as they bore direct reference to the silver controversy and, hence, to our national coinage.
