Description
1776 Continental Dollar, MS63
Newman 1-C, Pewter, Misspelled CURENCY
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter, Newman 1-C, W-8445,
R.3, MS63 NGC. Mint State Continental Dollars are seemingly
plentiful when our auction archives are examined, but that is truly
not the case. Three important offerings over the past several years
have brought several Mint State examples to the market, and those
have quickly found homes in other long term collections, such as
the Resolute Americana Continental Dollar Collection posted
at the NGC Registry. The Donald Groves Partrick Collection that we
sold in January 2015 included seven Mint State Continental dollars,
the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society sale of November
2014 contributed five Mint State pieces, and the Collection of a
Patriotic American that we sold in July 2009 also had five Mint
State pieces.The present sale is the 18th offering of an MS63 or finer example of Newman 1-C. However, those appearances represent just 12 different coins. Only six of those 12 coins grade finer than this Select Mint State representative. The lovely light gray surfaces are reflective and very nearly prooflike. Both sides have brilliant luster and wisps of pale slate toning.
A short die crack connects the tops of G and I in FUGIO on this early die state Newman 1-C Continental dollar. That die crack eventually reaches the upper and lower border, and forms a break on GI with another at the base of NT in CONTINENTAL. This piece represents one of the earliest observed die states of the Newman 1-C without evidence of the prominent internal cuds that form over FUGIO and below the NT of CONTINENTAL. A highly attractive example and an extremely important opportunity for the colonial specialist or type coin aficionado.
