Description
Famous 1776 Continental Dollar
CURRENCY, Pewter, N. 2-C
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURRENCY, Pewter PCGS Genuine.
Newman 2-C, W-8455, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of a VF specimen that has rim damage and scratches. This
medium to dark gray example has a small, slightly curved clip at 12
o'clock and there is a trio of faded thin marks near the sundial.
Peripheral areas exhibit granularity. A very scarce and important
type, likely intended to replace the dollar denomination of
continental currency paper money. Listed on page 85 of the 2013
Guide Book.
