About this coinHistory

762 proof Morgan dollars were struck in 1896. The 1896 proof is moderately scarce and available at major auctions. The year's presidential campaign, dominated by the free silver debate and Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech, gave the silver dollar an unusual political relevance. The proof format of the very coin at the center of the national debate carries historical resonance for collectors interested in the intersection of numismatics and politics.
