An extremely desirable colonial issue struck in England, these were imported to the colonies around 1781. This coin is of exceptional quality for the issue as well as the grade level!
An intriguing issue as the origin of these coins is not clear, it has long been considered a "Colonial" coin and possibly American's first dollar. New research has likely uncovered that the coin was actually struck in Germany as a commemorative token. This original XF example boasts pleasing gunmetal gray and olive color with nice remaining luster, especially around the date. Whatever its origins, this is still an absolutely choice example, a wonderful piece of history and a tangible reminder of the struggle that ensued against the British leading up to the formation of a proud nation, the United States of America.
