Lusterrules So-Called Dollars

Owner Comments:

Although they are undated, it is generally believed that Professor Montroville Dickeson designed and issued Perseverando Dollars around the same time as his Continental Dollar restrikes in 1876. For the obverse design, he chose the same image that was used for the 1776 Continental Currency $6 bill. Two reverse designs were used. Both commemorate the meeting of the Second Continental Congress and list the amount of Continental Currency that was issued at the time, they differ only in the date that the currency was issued. This medal has the May 10, 1775 date on the reverse and is struck on a thick copper planchet. It has glossy surfaces over an even dark chocolate color. It is one of only 3 that have been graded by NGC and at MS-64BN it is a top pop example. The overall rarity is R7 (11-20 known).
