AU-58+ (PCGS)
1776 Continental “dollar.” Newman 3-D, W-8460. Rarity-4. EG FECIT. Pewter. AU-58+ (PCGS).
257.8 grains. Usual die rotation, 30 degrees clockwise from medal turn. A superb example of this exciting and highly desirable issue. Flashy silvery gray surfaces show abundant luster but retain pleasing natural toning, mellowed from full brilliance with an appealing golden tone. Evenly struck and boldly defined, just a little flat on the sun face and showing the faintest evidence of overall handling. Some trivial granularity is seen at the centers hidden among the design elements, but no notable marks, corrosion, scratches, edge flaws, or planchet defects are present. The reverse die shows its arc crack through the rings, from 11:00 to 6:00. Choice, beautiful, and worthy of its superlative grade.
Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Laird Park Collection, May 1976, lot 112.
PCGS Population: 1; 32 finer.
PCGS# 795
