The Silver Dollar was first authorized in 1792, but the first issues did not appear until 1794. From then until 1804, all Silver Dollars had the edge lettering ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT. Early Silver Dollars had several designs including the Flowing Hair Silver Dollars (1794-1795), the Draped Bust Silver Dollars (1795-1804), the Gobrecht Silver Dollars (1836-1839), the Gobrecht Dollars (1836-1839), the Liberty Seated Silver Dollars (1840-1873), and the Trade Silver Dollars (1873-1885). Following these Early Silver Dollars, the Morgan Dollars (1878-1921); Peace Dollars (1921-1935) were produced. For the average collector, the Early Silver Dollars are too scarce to collect; however, up until the mid twentieth century, Morgan Silver Dollars were available from banks at face value. Obviously Early Silver Dollar coins were not, but many are available today for type collectors, specialists, and investors.
America's first silver dollar. These Pillars or 8 Reales were the first circulating dollar coin in the new world. This specimen, rarely seen undamaged, and even rarer still to find in uncirculated condition, with this specimen qualifying as "choice" and looking for MS-63 than MS-62. It was the Pillar Dollar displayed in the world famous multi-million dollar Cardinal Collection and listed as the first lot in the sale. A wonderful addition to the silver dollar collector, colonials collector, foreign collector, or as an individual "find" for the investor.More

Mexico 1761-Mo MM Silver 8 Reales, Cross Between H I KM-105 NGC AU-55-Calico-1075. 1761 Pillar Dollar is a coin of historical importance that significantly changed American Numismatics. Note that on the reverse the word HISPAN is split by a small cross atop the crown between the "H" and the "I." Coins of 1760 and earlier have the cross between the "I" and the "S." This relatively minor design change resulted from new design hubs being sent out from Spain, and lasted until the end of the Pillar coinage. Lovely original patina on this very choice about uncirculated specimenMore

1776 Continental Dollar $1 Spectacular PCGS MS62-CAC Curency variety. Perhaps the most iconic of all American numismatics this highly desirable 1776 Continental Dollar in Spectacular PCGS MS-62 condition displays Lovely pewter surfaces with some luster still apparent. A perfect specimen for the grade. CAC approved. One of the nicest Continental Dollars we have had the opportunity to offer in many years. In fact the last high grade Continental Dollars we offered that could even compete with this specimen was an uncirculated and a raw coin from 2 decades ago when we personally met e client from Tampa at Shooters on the Intracoastal in Ft Lauderdale where I personally handed the coin to the collector during the international table tennis championships among oohs and ahhs which, I couldn't tell if they were more for the 1776 or the international ping pong championships, oops I mean tabletop tennis championships ( sorry Greg )!
An amazing coin with off the charts eye appeal and history in your hand.
