. Beautiful rainbow toning on both sides, a boldly struck
Gem. The Montana Silver Association, with headquarters in Hel-
ena, Montana, had as its purposes "To unite and encourage,
through organization, those who believe in the restoration of sil-
ver in the monetary system of the United States and other lead-
ing powers throughout the world.”
Frank H. Cooney, Montana governor, and J. E. Erickson, U. S.
senator, were prominent among members of the advisory coun-
cil. Council and board of directors were composed of U. S. con-
gressmen, state senators and representatives and other state,
college and private industry leaders.
As a means of financing its activities the organization adopted a
silver medal, to be issued to members instead of a membership
card upon payment of $1 dues. The medal contains one tray
ounce of silver.999 fine. Net profit to the association was about
55 cents after silver and die costs had been paid. According to
C. R. Brazier, organization secretary, 2225 medals were ordered
struck, with initial shipment consisting of 300 pieces; distributed
by Union Bank and Trust Co., Helena. Actual number of pieces
issued cannot be established, but many medals were melted
and most authorities agree that there are substantially fewer
than 100 specimens extant today.
Estimated Value .................................................... $1,000-UP
