Description
1776 Continental Dollar, AU Details
CURRENCY Obverse, Newman 3-D
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, EG FECIT, Pewter -- Tooled -- PCGS
Genuine. AU Details. Newman 3-D, W-8460, R.4. This is the
variety with the designer's EG FECIT identification on the obverse.
Following decades of speculation in the early 20th century, Eric P.
Newman identified Elisha Gallaudet as the engraver of the obverse
die of this Continental dollar variety, and he likely prepared the
other dies as well. Newman published his findings in the August
1959 issue of The Numismatist. This example is a sharply detailed
representative with deep gray surfaces. A planchet crack is evident
at 2 o'clock on the obverse and 4 o'clock on the reverse. While the
surfaces retain little luster, we are unsure what constitutes the
tooling noted on the PCGS holder. This is a pleasing example for
the historic-minded American numismatist.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AYT, PCGS# 794, Greysheet# 79)
