详细说明

"1776" (1962) Continental Dollar. Bowers Restrike. White Metal. HK-854a. Rarity-3. MS-64 (PCGS). Fully prooflike with boldly reflective fields and nicely dusted devices. A hint of cloudiness engages the fields, not at all unusual on these highly reflective pieces. Struck on order of our own Q. David Bowers circa 1962 from copy dies created for Dr. Montroville Wilson Dickeson during the 1876 Centennial era. Just prior to World War I, New York City coin dealer Thomas L. Elder made restrikes from the Dickeson dies of 1876; the Bowers restrikes, as offered herein, followed the Elder restrikes some 45 or so years later. Absolutely choice overall with excellent eye appeal, the present specimen harks back to the Centennial celebration of our nation. A neat bit of numismatic history.
