Finest Known 1776 Continental Dollar Offered at Heritage Long Beach Auction
The
1776 Continental dollar is an enigmatic, complex issue that has fascinated numismatists for more than 200 years. Numismatic scholars from
Sylvester Sage Crosby to
Eric P. Newman and
Michael Hodder studied the issue in detail, mapping out a convincing theory of the origin and purpose of the coins and classifying the numerous varieties that surfaced over the years. Recently, exciting discoveries by authors like
Eric Goldstein and
David McCarthy have raised questions about the fundamental nature of these coins and their place of origin. The new evidence is certainly thought-provoking, but we suspect the last word on the Continental dollar has yet to be heard.
