Resolute Americana Continental Dollar Collection

Owner Comments:

The 5-D variety adds to the texture and story of the Continental Dollar. A Floriated Cross is engraved over the the last "Y" while a new "Y" is engraved over the second errant "E" that is shown in the previous exhibit on the Newman 4-D. Only three others have been discovered with this specimen being the finest known; thus, its rarity rating is Low R8 and it also carries a CAC approval of its grade. It traces its lineage back to the 1937 sale by M. Max Mehl and then on to the Norweb collection sale in 1988. Both Eric Newman and John J. Ford, Jr. competed against one another for this particular coin. Eric Newman prevailed and the Ford collection never owned this particular die variety. I was very excited to be the winning bidder of such a rarity at the Partrick auction since this was only the fourth auction appearance since 1937. I hope you find this coin as charming as I do.
