Newman 1-C, CURENCY, Pewter
Early Die State
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter, Newman 1-C, W-8445,
R.3, AU50 PCGS. All varieties of the Continental dollar coins,
as a group, hold the #91 spot in the sixth edition of 100
Greatest U.S. Coins. This example is an early die state with a
short crack connecting the right top of the G in FUGIO to the left
serif of the adjacent I. An extensive study of images reveals 12
distinct die states of the Newman 1-C pieces. Those die states
follow the Newman 1-A and 1-B coins with dotted rings and partially
dotted rings on the reverse, although all three varieties are from
the same pair of dies. This example blends light and medium gray
with rich steel color on the high points of the devices.
