1896 Bryan Dollar HK-777, Tiffany, S-1 Uniface
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
HK-777 is a large silver uniface piece made by Tiffany & Co. in 1896 to show how much silver it took to match a gold dollar that summer. Its seven lines of lettering state that 776 1/3 grains of silver, nine-tenths fine, equaled one gold dollar in July 1896, nearly twice the 412 1/2 grains in a standard silver dollar. Pieces like it were made by Eastern silversmiths during William Jennings Bryan's 1896 and 1900 campaigns for the free coinage of silver, and Hibler and Kappen class them with monetary pieces rather than campaign tokens because they speak directly to the coinage question. Tiffany's name is stamped into the edge in small letters; on the 1910 restrikes that mark is slightly wider and the surfaces are matte rather than smooth. Schornstein 1. Silver, 49 mm.
