Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $4 Extremely Fine-About New. Tightly margined, but a terrific high-grade Continental in every other respect.
Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $5 About New. The horizontal fold is mainly visible on the back. From the face, the note has the appearance of a Gem, with broad margins, excellent printing quality, bright paper and bold signatures.
Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $7 Choice About New. Closely margined at the top and left, but with terrific eye appeal. The back is very well centered.
Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $8 Extremely Fine. Boldly signed and quite attractive, but the top face margin intrudes slightly into the design.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1 About New. This One Dollar note has an exceptionally choice appearance, with its bold signatures, broad margins and perfect print quality. It has the visual impact of a far higher grade. A lovely natural, problem-free note.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $3 About New. A corner fold and a minor stain on the back are all that hold this well printed but closely margined note from the Choice New grade.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $3 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. This is an extremely nice example of the grade save for three small pinholes.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $4 Extremely Fine. There is an unobtrusive closed split at the top on this otherwise flawless XF Continental.
Continental Currency May 9, 1776 $6 XF

Continental Currency May 9, 1776 $8 Very Fine. Dark signatures are included with the purchase of this note that is the highest denomination for the issue.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $3 Choice Very Fine. Circulated to be sure, but a beautiful example with bold signatures.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $4 Very Fine. Lightly stained around the edges, but an otherwise very nice example.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $5 Very Fine. A handsome example of this much more difficult issue.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $6 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. Tight across the top, but with very generous margins all the rest of the way around. The signatures are strong, and the note has a lovely overall appearance. A much tougher issue in our opinion.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $8 Fine-Very Fine. Tightly trimmed, and with a bit of contemporary ink writing on the back.
Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $3 Extremely Fine. A simply flawless example for the grade, with excellent margins, good signatures, good print quality and not a hint of a problem.
Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $4 About New. The red signature has faded, but that is this nice note's only flaw.
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $2 Extremely Fine. There are a few light stains on the back of this high-end circulated piece. These Baltimore-issued Continentals are always popular.
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $3 Very Fine. A very nice example for the grade, with strong signatures and no problems. What appears to be an ink stain at the left is in reality a very large clump of blue fibers manufactured into the note.
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $4 Extremely Fine. Both of the signatures are in red on this Baltimore-issued Continental, but they have held up quite nicely. The note is well margined and problem free.
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $6 Extremely Fine-About New. Boldly printed and very well margined.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40 PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ. Perfectly original paper quality is easily seen through the third party holder.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $50 Choice About New. This attractive, originally embossed, well-signed note is a light corner fold and a few minor stains away from the Choice New grade.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $50 Contemporary Counterfeit PMG About Uncirculated 55. The 1778 issue saw its share of Contemporary Counterfeits. This is an especially nefarious example.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $60 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. This is a skillfully produced Contemporary Counterfeit. We find them to be an extremely interesting addenda to Continental collecting.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $60 Extremely Fine. Falsely signed, numbered and placed in circulation. We've seen very few examples like this over the years, and find them to be extremely interesting addenda to Continental collecting.
Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $35 About New. Boldly signed and beautifully margined. A very nice example from this eleventh and final Continental issue. This $35 denomination is found only from this issue. A premium piece.
Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $40 Extremely Fine-About New. Tightly margined all around, but with good color and strong signatures.
Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $65 Extremely Fine. A pleasing example of this higher denomination Continental that is totally problem free but for a small cluster of pinholes.

Connecticut October 11, 1777 2d PCGS New 62. This nicely preserved note has been slit cancelled which is typical for the issue.
Connecticut October 11, 1777 4d PCGS Choice New 63PPQ. This is an example of the standard blue paper variety that has been slit cancelled.
Delaware May 1, 1777 5s Extremely Fine. Although some circulation is apparent, this scarcer Delaware issue note retains its handsome appearance. It's well signed and sharply printed. A few margin nicks are noticed as well.
Georgia May 4,1778 $30 About Good-Good. Bright signatures, including that of William Few who later became a signer of the United States Constitution in 1787, remain on this note. The paper is that of a higher grade, but the lower right corner is damaged as is the Boar vignette. Margin splits and some adhesive residue affects the back.
Massachusetts October 16, 1778 12d PMG Good 6. Tears are mentioned on the back of the holder of this pleasing Codfish issue.
New Jersey April 8, 1762 £3 PMG Very Fine 20. This note has three strong signatures, no repairs or restorations of any kind, nice color, and excellent eye appeal. It is serial number 1174 out of only 3300 printed. Early Jerseys are relatively common as rags, but quite rare as the grade increases. Neither Newman nor Friedberg prices this note above VG.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 1s Extremely Fine. This is an interesting note in that usually for this issue the serial numbering and one signature is done in red ink. This example is an all black ink penmanship affair.
New York March 5, 1776 $2/3 Very Fine. A solid problem-free example, with two huge and two close margins on the face.
New York March 5,1776 (Water Works) 8s About New. Mounting remnants on the back hurt the value of what would otherwise be an extremely nice Water Works note.
North Carolina December, 1771 1s Very Good. This note has been split in two and rejoined together with a paper strip. Otherwise the paper and printing is superior for the assigned grade. There is also an ink blur at left and many pinholes at center.
Pennsylvania March 10, 1769 2s Very Fine. We have been able to offer very few of these over the years with this example being by far the best. This piece was once mounted and removal has lost two extreme right corner tips.
Pennsylvania March 20, 1771 5s About New. We have been able to offer only one other of these notes in the last seven years. This note has a hard fold down the middle with an approximate quarter inch split at top center.
Pennsylvania March 20, 1771 20s Extremely Fine. Only 6000 of these were printed in A-B plate letter sheets. This example is from the B plate position. We see on the average about one of these every two years.
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 20s Fine. This note was signed by Ben Jacobs, one of the few Jewish signers of Colonial currency.
South Carolina December 23, 1776 $6 Choice New. An unsigned Remainder note. It's well margined and quite bright. Hebrew characters on the back of this note were used as an anticounterfeiting device.
South Carolina December 23, 1776 $8 Extremely Fine. A fully signed and issued example rather than the often-seen Remainder, the signatures are somewhat light, but three of them are fully legible.
Virginia July 17, 1775 £2 Very Good, damaged. Internally, the note is substantially present, but some fairly large pieces are missing from the edges. This is the larger format type for this issue and denomination, and it is quite rare in all grades. An example of this note is difficult enough to obtain, and even with its problems it could realize...
Virginia March 1, 1781 $20 Extremely Fine. We have been able to offer only a couple of these over the years. This note has bright paper and dark inks to go along with bold signatures. There is a small tear at bottom center.

Fr. 1235 5c Second Issue PMG Uncirculated 62. The surcharges on the back are very distinct and the label reads "adhesive on note" on this tougher Fractional note.
Fr. 1235 5c Second Issue PMG Very Fine 25. This is a very bright mid-grade example of this popular fiber paper issue.

Milton 2E25F.3e Second Issue 25¢ Experimental PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. This Milton number has the characteristics of rubber stamped "SPECIMEN" on the face and two semi-circular holes.
Fr. 1283 25c Second Issue Experimental Face PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. An attractive experimental that does not include the bronze overprint. Similar to Milton 2E25F.3c.
Fr. 1289 25c Second Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. Here is a lovely example of this fiber paper type that has excellent ink colors, bright bronzing and clear surcharges. A bit of press bed smearing is seen.

Fr. 1317 50c Second Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. This is a colorful example that is well margined.
Fr. 1317 50c Second Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58. The bronze oval is neatly placed over the Washington portrait.
Fr. 1318 50c Second Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. This example has broad margins and distinct surcharges.
Fr. 1322 50c Second Issue Experimental Back PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. This experimental back boasts the "18-63" and "T-1" surcharges.

Fr. 1226SP 3c Third Issue Narrow Margin Pair PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 & 64. Both specimen notes exhibit some hinge residue on the backs.

Fr. 1291 25c Third Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. The reason for the grade is not clearly evident within the holder, but the embossing and vivid color certainly are.
Fr. 1292 25c Third Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. The inks are vibrant and the embossing pronounced on this red back Fessenden.

Fr. 1337 50c Third Issue Spinner PMG Choice About Unc 58. This is a much scarcer number than most collectors realize.
Fr. 1344 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Choice Fine 15 Net. PMG comments, "Damaged" which is certainly the case for this rare "1" and "a" Justice. The upper right and lower left corner tips are gone and the note has several other minor damaged areas around the edges. The problems aside, this is a very rare number and a relatively inexpensive way to help fill a set.

Fr. 1355SP 50c Third Issue Justice Wide Margins Face PMG About Uncirculated 55. This is a very attractive Wide Margin Justice specimen that is hand signed by both Colby and Spinner, but without the usual ink erosion. The label reads "stained" and in fact this staining is very minor.
Fr. 1360 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. This is a nicely embossed Justice with plenty of eye appeal and bright color.
Fr. 1362 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. This Justice has a bright bronze overprint.
Fr. 1363 50c Third Issue Justice PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. While Fr. 1363 is certainly the most common of the "1" and "a" Justice notes, it is a difficult animal to find as a legitimate New note. Many supposedly New notes in the past are really Choice About New examples and a certified note such as this should fit the bill. The past couple of certified Choice About New examples that we have sold have realized in the $500-$600 range.
Fr. 1365 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Extremely Fine 40. This is a lightly handled example of this popular Justice type that is of the scarcer "a" on face variety.
Fr. 1366 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ. This is a tougher Justice issue in a pleasing mid-grade.
Fr. 1369 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ. This note looks choice and EPQ for the grade.
Fr. 1369 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ. This example remains bright despite the handling.
Fr. 1261 10c Fourth Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. The margins are quite large on this deeply inked Fractional.
Fr. 1374 50c Fourth Issue Lincoln About New. This Lincoln hides its handling well.
Fr. 1379 50c Fourth Issue Dexter PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. The tight right margin held back the grade on this colorful note.
Milton 5E10R.2 10c Fifth Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. This note is dismounted from its card, as is always the case with these. There is a small corner tip missing, and PMG has added the comments, "Previously Mounted, Light Discoloration."

The delicate black pen signatures of Cashier W. R. Dysart and Vice-President H. J. I. Waxwell definitely add to the appeal of this piece. While it technically grades Fine or a bit better, it faces up quite nicely and is held back by some wallet soiling on the back.
