    1776 Continental Dollar

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted · Edited by CoinRaritiesOnline

    I'm sorry to say that yours is a modern replica.

     

    Aside from the surface and detail issues, the easiest way to authenticate one of these is to look at the edge. A genuine 1776 Continental Dollar of this type has an interlocking leaf pattern on the edge like in this image:

    Note this pic is of a Pillar 8 Reales, but the edge device on a Continental $1 is the same.
