Resolute Americana Continental Dollar Collection

Owner Comments:

Example of a very rare, High R7, pewter Newman 1-B variety, with a CAC approval. It is the finest specimen which Heritage Auctions estimates to be a population of only 7. When Eric Newman did his monumental study of Contiental Dollars, this particular variety was not known of and until recently, only a couple were known to exist. The discovery specimen did not occur until 1971. In this variety, the dotted rings are engraved over to create continuous rings. Despite this, some of the dots remain visiable and they would not be completely eliminated until the Newman 1-C variety. The provenance of this coin is quite limited so additional research is required.
