Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $1 Fr. CC-11. PCGS Choice New 63. Though this is not the highest certified example observed today, it is in tremendous condition and rarely seen in this superior state of preservation. Like all Continentals, printed by Hall and Sellers. This is one of the very scarce low denominations from the early resolutions, and it is worth a premium in this condition. These early $1 bills saw hard use in making change, so strictly Uncirculated notes like this are rare. This is well printed and has broad margins on three sides. The emblem on the face shows a weighted bowl on an acanthus plant with the encircling motto DEPRESSA RESURGIT (Though crushed it recovers). One of the key high-grade notes needed for top-condition Continental sets. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20040, realized $2400. |
