"1776" (1783) Continental Dollar. Newman 3-D, W-8460. Rarity-4. CURRENCY, EG FECIT. Pewter. EF-40 (PCGS). CMQ.

Lovely pewter-gray surfaces retain generally bold definition that does soften appreciably around the reverse periphery. Even so, every major element of this historic and popular design type is present to be admired. The level of surface preservation is above average for a Continental dollar, especially one that experienced light handling. In addition to the aforementioned original patina, both sides provide an uncommonly smooth appearance during in-hand viewing with no significant blemishes. The famous EG FECIT variety, and a fitting counterpart to the pewter strikings of the CURENCY and CURRENCY types 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, attractive as it is for the grade, will see spirited bidding activity.
