Description
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $6 PMG About Uncirculated 55.A total of 49,000 $6 notes were authorized and placed in circulation in August 1775 as part of the first Continental Congress issue intended to fund the initial expenses of the Independence effort. The face features an emblem of a beaver gnawing on a tree with the motto PERSEVERANDO (by perseverance) on the face and a nature print of a buttercup leaf on the back. Signed by Luke Morris and Mordecai Lewis. Lewis served during the Revolutionary War as part of the Virginia Dunsmore County Militia. By the mid-1780s, he and his family moved to Sevier County in Tennessee. This note has been lightly handled, primarily at the corners and edges. With only two Uncirculated notes listed in the PMG Population Report, an attractive AU is often as good as it gets.
