Continental Currency September 26, 1778 Uncut Full Sheet of $60-$50-$40-$30/$20-$8-$7-$5 Blue Counterfeit Detector Notes Fr. CC-86DT-CC-83DT/CC-82DT-CC-79DT. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent. The Continental Currency detector sheets printed by Hall and Sellers were important in aiding comparisons with suspected counterfeits. This detector sheet has its broad margins remaining and is a bold example. The $50 and $60 denominations are new, and have Hopkinson-designed emblems; instead of using leaves on the back, they show tiny arrows on the first and a bow on the second. The two additional denominations alter the array from the April 11, 1778, Yorktown type sheet. Noted with "Small Splits and Repairs; Minor Stains." Those faults are confined to wide margins. Very strong printing is seen on both sides. A most pleasing sheet. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20094, realized $4320. |
