So-Called Dollars
Professor Montroville Wilson Dickeson (1813-1882) was a
numismatist who produced copies of the 1776 Continental dollar
and sold them as souvenirs for the Centennial Exposition of
1876. Restrikes from these copy dies were made by John Pinches
& Co. for Empire Coin Co. and later by coin dealer Robert
Bashlow. Both the Empire restrikes and those by Bashlow
are distinguishable for the original Dickeson strikes. Bashlow
eventually donated the dies to the Smithsonian Institution.
