1896 Bryan Money Bullion Value Sixteen to One NGC AU Details White Metal

Bryan money was struck against William Jennings Bryan's free-silver platform in 1896, not for it, and the argument is made on the piece itself. The obverse carries a Liberty head in the manner of the Morgan dollar, with the legend BULLION VALUE and the date 1896. The reverse sets an eagle above the words SIXTEEN TO ONE and, below, WE DONT THINK. Sixteen to one was the ratio of silver to gold that Bryan proposed; the last three words are the answer his opponents gave. Graded by NGC as AU Details, cleaned. The holder carries the Ex. J. Doyle Dewitt line and certificate number 6888057-002. This holder attributes no Schornstein number. The catalog's other example of the same design, slabbed from the same DeWitt submission, is numbered SCH-852.
