1776 Continental Dollar in Pewter Newman 2-C CURENCY Rarity-3

PCGS graded MS-63. CAC APPROVED

. Frosty bright silvery

gray with darker medium gray toning on the highpoints of the devices. The only notable defects are a spot of tin pest below the second C in

CURENCY and a couple smaller ones at the bottom of the reverse. The small pest marks are not distracting and this piece offers excellent eye

appeal. MDS with a narrow internal cud break over GI in FUGIO but before the die crack through the sun and T above. A nice example of this

historic pattern dollar for the fledgling United States. Listed on page 87 in the "Redbook."
