Description

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 PMG Very Good 10 NET. These Twenty Dollar Bills were printed on weak, thin white paper that had been furnished by Benjamin Franklin. The left end of the bills has a polychrome multicolor anticounterfeiting device that gives the notes a distinctly different appearance. They were also considerably wider and shorter than any of the other Continentals. The back of this example, as on all known pieces, is inverted. PMG has noted "Split Repairs", which is accurate, but the 10 NET grade seems conservative in the extreme. The note essentially has the look of a Fine to Very Fine, and it includes a very broad section of marbling at the left edge.
