<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4490876, member: 101855&quot;]I find it ironical that they said in the So-Called-Dollars book that they would not include political pieces, and yet this series is. The tough and popular pieces were sold by Tiffany &amp; Co., the famous jewelry store. I have seen some fancy prices, like $600+ on examples of this piece, which had bad rim damage. Nice one like this or two to three times more.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1114363[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The less expensive examples have a blank reverse. Tiffany restruck these pieces in 1908. The only way you can tell the difference is on the edge, which get complicated. The word &quot;Tiffany&quot; is on the edge and the size of the letters is supposed to be the deciding factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1114361[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of these pieces have been dipped or cleaned with silver polish. Those pieces are worth less.</p><p><br /></p><p>The REALLY tough ones were issued by coin dealer Thomas Elder in 1908. Elder was a conservative, and really didn&#039;t like Bryan. Elder issued these pieces in various metals. I have bid on them in auctions, but never been successful.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114364[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1114365[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
