USAHalf Dollar 1866S No Motto Breen 4929, only Good but a key rarity in the series. The 1866S No Motto coin is extremely rare in all grades. The variety's very existence depends on a quirk of timing. The Act of March 3, 1866 stated that all silver and gold coins minted after Jan 1 1866 large enough to carry the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' had to carry it. The obverse dies reached San Francisco before the end of 1865, but the reverses did not follow until May 1866. In the meantime San Francisco authorities made 60,000 Half Dollars using left over reverses without the motto. Of these at most a few hundred survive in all grades, making this an extremely rare piece.
USA Gorham Manufacturing Co. 1896, 'Bryan Dollar' 52mm diameter, 53.3 grammes of silver, Plain edge. Uniface, A GOVERNMENT DOLLAR CONTAINS// 412 1/2 GRAINS// COIN SILVER 900/1000 FINE// --- //THIS PIECE CONTAINS// 823 GRAINS COIN SILVER// IN VALUE THE EQUIVALENT OF// ONE GOLD DOLLAR// SEPT. 16th. 1896.// GORHAM MFG. CO, SILVERMITHS. in 9 Lines, About EF. These pieces were struck for the Presidential campaign of 1896, for William Jennings Bryan, and represent the difference in size between a Silver Dollar and the silver bullion equivalent of a Gold Dollar. The market price of silver on Sept. 16th was used for comparison. Bryan fought for monetary reforms as part of his Presidential campaign. He was narrowly defeated in the election by William McKinlay. An interesting piece of USA Political history. Uniface examples are recorded as are hand-inscribed reverse types. Gorham Silver was founded in 1831 by Jabez Gorham and Henry L. Webster, and was well-known for high quality spoons, thimbles, jewellery and other small items. They were the first in America to use a steam-powered drop press. Such was their prowess in manufacturing that even Tiffany & Co. outsourced all it's silverware production to them.
