1910 Bryan Dollar HK-777, Tiffany, S-1 Restrike
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Tiffany & Co.'s name, in small incuse letters on the edge, is the first thing to check on this piece. HK-777 (Schornstein 1) is a one-sided silver medal of 49 mm whose seven lines of lettering claim that a mass of 776 1/3 grains of nine-tenths fine silver was "The Equivalent of One Gold Dollar" in July 1896. The originals date from that summer's presidential race; this page is a restrike made in 1910. Hibler and Kappen give two tests. Originals have smooth surfaces and the 1910 pieces matte ones, and the edge name spans 7 1/2 mm on an original against 8 mm on a restrike. The broad disc put the silver argument into metal, showing how much silver it took to equal a gold dollar at the going rate. HK-778 repeats the design with a far wider edge name.
