1884 Toned Morgan Dollar Money Clip. Truly One Of A Kind Estate Jewelry Find.


The money clip was made by Bell using Nickel Silver:


nickel silver, a range of alloys of copper, nickel, and zinc which are silvery in appearance but contain no silver. Its composition varies from 7 to 30 percent nickel, the alloy most widely used being 18 percent nickel silver (18 percent nickel, 62 percent copper, 20 percent zinc). In general the zinc content is lowered as the nickel is increased, the copper content varying between 53 and 63 percent. Sterling silver, in contrast, is an alloy in which pure silver makes up at least 92.5 percent of the content.
