Article is new enough and long enough. Hook facts are cited inline and verified. No close paraphrasing was found. This is the nominator's first nomination so no QPQ is required. However, there are a number of unreferenced statements in the article, such as "The reverse features thirteen chain links representing the Thirteen Colonies." and "As there is no evidence that the Continental Congress had authorized the production of dollar coins for the Continental Currency, it is unknown exactly who made the coins or where they were made. The exact mintage numbers are also unknown." Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Narutolovehinata5, I found a few sources that make the statements you mentioned incorrect. I've changed those statements and properly cited them. - ZLEA _T\^C 15:39, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think this should be good to go now. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
