THE ATTECK FAMILY COLLECTION OF WEST INDIES HOLEY DOLLARS. Trinidad. 9 Bitts (9 Shillings), ND (Authorized June 11, 1811). NGC VG-10.
23.31 gms (356.72 grains). KM-A14.1; Prid-3. Charles IV Mexico City 8 Reales, 1802-FTwith a central octagonal cutout with plain edges pierced from obverse. When the authorization was given on June 11th the quantity of dollars to be cut was not to exceed 25,000. The central cutout segments were given a declared value of 1 Bitt (1 Shilling) and were stamped with the initial "T" for the name of the colony. These central cutout Bitts were ordered to be withdrawn from circulation December 1st, 1823. By order of proclamation issued by Sir Ralph Woodford September 14, 1814 the cut dollars were to continue to circulate by tale at 9 Shillings until ordered to pass by weight. The cut dollars and the previous cut minors of the proclamation of February 9th, 1804 were never officially withdrawn. Some of the cut dollar continued to circulate as late as 1860 at a rate of 3 Shillings 9 Pence (90 Cents). Heavily worn as would be expected for this longtime circulating issue with no major defects to speak of. Lightly toned with moderate encrustation amongst reverse the devices. NGC VG-10.
