<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3730681, member: 92655&quot;]The formative years of our nation are quite interesting to me. Consequently, coins of that era are of a particular interest to me as well. I own a few pieces from our nations formative years, but being a working man they are few and far between. The Continental Currency coin dated 1776 is a coin that I would absolutely love to own, but being a coin that typically auctions at six figures, I&#039;ll likely never own one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I received an email from Heritage touting their upcoming auction. They highlighted a beautiful Continental Currency coin that is on the auction block. It is one of the finest I have ever seen. They offered a write up on the piece with a different spin on the origin than I had ever heard. According to their article, they cite that there is evidence to suggest these were struck in London in 1783 as medals, not circulating coinage. I wonder if this may dim some of the luster of these pieces and affect the future value if their origin is proven to be from London?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
