Losbeschreibung

High Grade 1776 Continental “Dollar” CURRENCY 1776 Continental “dollar.” Newman 2-C, W-8455. Rarity-3. CURRENCY. Pewter. MS-62+ (PCGS). 250.7 grains. 90 degrees clockwise from medal turn. Superb medium pewter gray with lighter silver highlights around the obverse devices and across the reverse. Well centered and boldly struck, with full borders on both sides and a nicely detailed sun face. Wholly original and boldly attractive, this piece displays the sort of natural freshness that is rarely encountered on a Continental “dollar” of any grade in the marketplace today. There is a bit of surface granularity at the obverse rim above ENC of CURRENCY and a single horizontal hairline inside the top of the innermost obverse circle, but this piece is choice in appearance and beautifully preserved. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of April 1976, lot 134. PCGS Population (CURRENCY): 1; 11 finer (MS-64 finest).
