pkzac New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 12:11 pm Hello Guys This coin was passed down to me by my Grandmother and I was hoping you guys could shed some light on it. From what I have gathered its a 1776 $1 Continental CURENCY, Pewter Coin with the mis spelled Currency with one "r" Curency. It seems to be the N-1-C version. It also has a "R" initial preceding the 1776 on the Coin. Just wondering if its the real deal and any advice moving forward. Thanks :] Report this Post to the Staff

Is it magnetic by chance? If it is, then its a copy. From what I though these were copper, may be wrong. Details don't look right. Hope it is real, be quite valuable. Report this Post to the Staff

It would predate the 1973 Hobby Protection Act, which made such ambiguous markings illegal (replicas now need to be stamped "COPY"). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
