- Classic 1776 Continental “Dollar” MS-62+ (PCGS) 1776 Continental “dollar.” Newman 1-C, W-8445. Rarity-3. CURENCY. MS-62+ (PCGS). 281.3 grains. 90 degrees clockwise from medal turn. Aglow with light silver gray luster against contrasting pewter gray fields, this piece bears the look of a higher grade. The reverse is particularly bright, but both sides are beautiful. The strike is sharp, and the centering is ideal. A single tiny speck of pest is seen within the South Carolina ring near 9:00 on the reverse, but it is truly trivial. No bad marks or hairlines are noted. A short die crack connects the tops of GI of FUGIO. A piece of majestic beauty and classic appeal. This piece’s quality and visual appeal is reminiscent of the Kendall specimen, a PCGS MS-63 that had been acquired in London in 1966. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Donald Groves Collection, November 1974, lot 372. PCGS Population (CURENCY): 2; 32 finer. PCGS# 791 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
