Set of 2: 1754 and 1755 8R Pillar Dollar NGC Excavation Recovery Uncirculated

Description
  • The original Silver Dollar of America. This coin was so important that even Thomas Jefferson suggested it be used as the basis for the American currency system in 1776.
  • These coins are seldom seen in any condition at all.
  • Even the coins produced at the Mexico City Mint, which are the most available, have an astonishingly low surviving population of just 3,008 examples in any condition graded by NGC. 
  • Even the Red Book, the most important reference book in US numismatics, only lists the Pillar Dollar up to Extremely Fine condition.
  • That’s how rare it is in the condition we have today. If it weren’t for a once-in-a-lifetime hoard we just uncovered, finding these national treasures would be nearly impossible!
