I can't find my answer on the internet... GAAAAAAAA!

From Your Newsletter came the following question:

The term "cartwheel" is often used to refer to the American silver dollar. Which of the following actually depicts a cartwheel as a contemporary reference to that largest silver coin of the realm?
a) 1886 $5 Silver Certificate
b) 1896 Bryan money
c) Eckfeldt and Dubois' A Manual of Gold and Silver Coins of All Nations, 1842.
d) 1837 hard times token, Low-51

I know that the answer is not A or D, but I can't find anything on B or C... I did see something that leads me to believe Bryan money was just like a copy of the actual Morgan, so I would think the answer may be C, which is what I'll probably use.

First, I DO NOT want you to give me the answer! But, if you know of any websites that may help me find the answer/learn more, I'd really appreciate it! All I can find on Bryan money is about the election, not the "money" he made... can't find anything on C that would give me a clue.

PS- See? You can't find everything on the internet! (unless you help me

I don't know where you can find the answer on the internet. But if you tossed out A and D you might need to rethink!! Come over to the "Dark Side"...

I misread your post. I have the answer but you said you did not want to be given the answer.

I'm on the darkside, too... I just visit less when I am not on my main computer as this one is slow

lclugza,

THanks for not posting... I want to know the answer, but I have to find it myself, as I don't want to cheat myself

If you go to Google and search you can find the answer to your question. I thought I knew the answer but I misread the question...Oh Well!

Could be a trick question? The $5 silver certificate of 1886 has engravings of five Morgan "cartwheel" silver dollars on the reverse,

Libertad;
I thought the 1886 note was the answer myself. But that aint the answer!!

I found the quiz and see what you mean.

My problem may have been the definition of 'contemporary' !
