Description
1776 Continental Dollar, Choice AU
EG FECIT, Pewter, Newman 3-D
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURRENCY, Pewter, EG FECIT, AU55
NGC. Newman 3-D, W-8460, R.4. EG FECIT is present on only one
die variety of the Continental Dollar, Newman 3-D. Elisha Gallaudet
(circa-1728 to 1779) was for many years regarded as the name behind
the mysterious inscription, since he was the engraver for the
sixth-dollar Continental currency notes of Feb. 17, 1776. But
little is confirmed about any Continental dollar variety, except
that the design first appears in print (although with German
legends) in a 1783 almanac. This lightly circulated steel-gray
example is struck from rotated dies, and exhibits the usually seen
circular crack spanning the centers of most of the reverse rings.
We note lumps on the obverse rims at 4:30 and 6 o'clock, and a spot
on the I in CONTINENTAL. No abrasions are remotely consequential.
Census: 1 in 55, 9 finer (5/19). Listed on page 87 of the 2020
