| Aanvullende informatie |
The Continental Currency coinage of 1776 was never officially authorized for circulation — these are pattern strikes, almost certainly produced in Philadelphia, possibly by Elisha Gallaudet, the engraver credited with the designs. Congress was attempting to establish a functioning monetary system while paper Continental dollars were already collapsing in purchasing power, making the timing of this metallic experiment grimly ironic.
Silver examples are the rarest of the three known compositions, with only a handful of genuine specimens documented. PCGS numbers 793 and 796 reflect distinct die marriages within the silver strikes — the differences in legend spelling ("CURRENCY" versus "CURRENCEY") are the primary distinguishing factor between major varieties.
