An unusual political item dated 1953. Appears to be a one-off item made in a machine shop from a large steel washer. A circulated 1944 Lincoln cent is encased in the center. The obverse reads, ONE REPUBLICAN DOLLAR / 1953, perhaps referring to the recession of 1953 largely the result of restrictive monetary policies of the Federal Reserve hoping to stave off anticipated inflation. The reverse reads, IN IKE WE TRUST / NIXON DON'T LIE. This enigmatic piece reminds one of the large Bryan Dollars produced in 1896. Worthy of further research. Stell, 64 mm, EF. City: State: Date:1953
