    Well, FECIT means "made it" and some continental dollars have EG FECIT meaning EG Made it.

    most numismatists generally agree that Elisha Gallaudet is EG (He engraved it). He was an experienced bank note engraver of Freehold, New Jersey. Gallaudet was very familiar with the Continental Dollar design, since he had engraved the same symbols on the One Sixth Dollar Continental Currency notes of Feb. 17, 1776, including sun dial, FUGIO and links. here is your prize image
