Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $5 Fr. CC-15. PCGS Choice About New 58. This is another very fresh note, once the sheet-mate to the $2 note prior, with excellent paper originality and sharp printing. The face margins are extremely wide and even, providing a beautiful frame. The centering on both sides is perfect. Strongly penned signatures of Joseph Watkins, Jr. and Nicholas Garrison are at lower right. The emblem shows a hand bleeding from thorn pricks; the motto is SUSTINE VEL ABSTINE (Either survive or give up). This note is nearly exceptional in eye appeal and has all the attributes of a PPQ note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016).
