Lot 31
1776 Continental Currency - Pewter, inscribed "CURRENCY EG FECIT". PCGS graded AU-50. Steel gray in color and lacking the usual tin-pesting that is often seen, the surfaces are truly delightful for this issue. We do note a dull scrape on the O in CONTINENTAL and other small scrapes around both sides hidden within the lettering. Well struck by the dies, with each state visible in the encircling chain and we note the usual die crack through the middle of the chain on the reverse. A pretty dollar, despite its handling marks.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
From the Fairchild Family Trust.
