Lot #6765. 1776 Continental Dollar. CURENCY. Newman 1-C, W-8445. Pewter. EF-40 (PCGS).

Prized 1776 Continental Dollar with CURENCY Spelling
Description: Attractive light gray with tinges of deeper gray mixed into the peripheral lettering. The strike is sharp throughout, as the fine die cutting evidence is clear along with the minor blunders on the hand engraved lettering of the states within the interlocking chain links of the reverse. Free of tin pesting which is common to these early coins, and desirable as such. The surfaces are attractive too, as there are no deep marks or heavy scratches. For identification there is a shallow nick in the suns rays below the I of FUGIO and a shallow nearly vertical scratch within the chain link for Rhode Island. Die chips attach the tops of IG of FUGIO to the border above. All in all a solid example of this coveted large colonial issue with the sweet date of 1776.

PCGS# 791.
