Rare Collectibles TV has released a timely tribute to the 1776 Continental Currency dollar. The limited-edition Mint State-70 gold and silver commemoratives replicate the design of the iconic coin, with the dual date 1776-2026 in honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary. “When it comes to early American history and the symbols that defined our nation’s fight for liberty, the 1776 Continental Dollar has stood as a cornerstone for over two centuries,” says Jack McNamara, cofounder of Rare Collectibles TV. “Founding Father Benjamin Franklin’s unmistakable Fugio design of a sundial showcasing the motto ‘Mind Your Business’ on the obverse, as well as his 13 linking rings reverse design with the motto, ‘We Are One,’ represent the work ethic and bond of the original 13 colonies.”
