Lusterrules So-Called Dollars

Owner Comments:

When Professor Dickeson designed his Eagle & Heron medals, he chose to use the same image of an eagle & heron fighting for the obverse that was used on the $3 bills issued by the Continental Congress in 1775. The legend above the two birds translates to “The End Is in Doubt”. Dickeson used the same two Continental Currency reverse designs that he used for his Perseverando Dollars for these medals as well. This medal has the Nov. 29, 1775 date on the reverse and is struck on a thick copper planchet. It is a beautiful example, with incredible detail exhibited in the feathers of the birds and a rich mahogany tone. Its surfaces have a glossy sheen which contribute to its excellent eye appeal. It has been graded MS-64 BN by NGC and is one of only 4 that they have graded. Only 1 has been graded higher at MS-65 BN. The overall rarity is R7 (11-20 known).
