Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40. Fr. CC-84 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. This is the second-to-last resolution of notes, and it added two new denominations: $50 and $60. High-grade notes are available, making this series affordable to collect in top condition, such as this 58PPQ $40 example. This is a well-printed Hall and Sellers note, and both sides are well inked. The circular emblem on the face shows an altar and flame surrounded by 13 stars, with the all-seeing Eye of Providence shining down. A scroll with the word CONFEDERATION curves up from the bottom. The nature print on the back depicts carrot leaves. A pleasing type note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
