Description
1776 Continental Dollar, AU50
Pewter, CURENCY, Newman 1-C
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter, N. 1-C, W-8445,
R.3, AU50 PCGS. For many years, numismatists led by Eric P.
Newman believed that the Continental dollar was a prototype for a
circulating U.S. coin, intended to replace Continental currency.
Present-day researchers, led by Erik Goldstein and David McCarthy,
state that the type was struck in Europe for collectors shortly
after the Revolutionary War. The series, known in three alloys and
several die varieties, remains popular today. The present
better-grade example displays spot-free silver-gray matte surfaces.
A trio of small marks are west of the W in WE. Listed on page 51 of
the 2025 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 915766, Base PCGS# 791)
