1896 Bryan Dollar, HK-781, AU53 Uncertified
<B>1896 Bryan Dollar, HK-781, AU53 Uncertified.</B></I> Silver, 52.4 mm. Zerbe-6, HK-781, S-7. A uniface example of a popular Bryan dollar, this is essentially the same as HK-780, but a blank obverse die was used. A review of the NGC <I>Census Report </B></I>indicates that both HK-780 and HK-781 are of comparable rarity. Struck to ridicule the Free Silver platform on which William Jennings Bryan ran during both the 1896 and 1900 elections, both times unsuccessfully. The large size of the planchet demonstrated the amount of .900 fine silver that would have been required to freely convert one silver dollar to one gold dollar under Bryan's plan. This piece is a lightly handled example with attractive medium gray surfaces and no distracting flaws. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
