Choice EF Continental Dollar Famous EG FECIT Variety "1776" (1783) Continental Dollar. Newman 3-D, W-8460. Rarity-4. CURRENCY, EG FECIT. Pewter. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely pewter-gray surfaces retain bold to sharp definition that allows full appreciation of this historic and popular design type. The strike is expertly centered on the planchet with all peripheral devices fully on the flan and even some of the border beads evident in isolated areas. The level of surface preservation is outstanding for a Continental dollar, especially one that experienced light handling. In addition to the aforementioned original patina, both sides possess an uncommonly smooth appearance with no significant blemishes. The famous EG FECIT variety, and a fitting counterpart to the rare brass striking of the CURENCY type offered above. The EG FECIT variety is eagerly sought in its own right, of course, by those who indulge in serious pursuit of this series as well as by those who simply enjoy a "different" sort of example for their type set. Either way, the present piece, choice as it is for the grade, will see spirited bidding activity. Provenance: From the Addison Collection. Earlier from our Americana Sale of February 2014, lot 388. CAC Population: 12 in all grades. PCGS# 795. NGC ID: 2AYU. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
