<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1249750, member: 66"]Political campaign token for probably the election of 1896. Commonly grouped with other items and collectively known as Bryan Money. One of the major debates of that election was the question of the gold standard or the return to bimetallism. Bryan was on the side of bimetalism and most Bryan Money was issued by the gold standard folks. This piece is a two position piece. In the position shown it reads on one side "Sound Money means a dollar worth 100 cents" and lists the gold standard candidates. On the other side the eagle is standing proud with wings outstretches and it says "I'm flying high." I believe the loop slides into another position and then it reads Bimetallism means a dollar worth 40 cents." and shows the Bimetallism candidates. On the other side the eagles head is drooped down to the right and the wing is down by the talons. The inscription reads "I feel sick." Bryan Money is very collectible and have some pieces have very high prices. I believe this is one of the more common pieces but I still would not be surprised if it is worth into three figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
