- Undated (1908) "Taft" or "Gold Basis" Dollar. Silver. 38 mm. HK-800, DeLorey-63. Rarity-7. MS-63 (PCGS). This richly original example exhibits splashes of olive and rose-gray patina to surfaces that retain blushes of antique silver in the protected areas around many of the design elements. Lustrous and semi-reflective with strong visual appeal. New York City coin dealer Thomas Elder had no love or respect for the "Great Commoner" William Jennings Bryan, and Elder's "Taft-Wilson Gold Basis" so-called dollars of 1908 and 1912 only thinly veil the contempt Elder had for Bryan's views. Rare and elusive, silver impressions of this type were produced to the extent of just 10 pieces. Provenance: From the Tim Gabriele Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
