Auction 282 | Lot 587 » Fractional Currency » First Issue
Fr. 1310 50c First Issue Superb Gem New. A spectacular, fully perforated, broadly margined note. It's one of the very nicest Fr. 1310's that we've ever handled, and this is the second time that we've handled it. It was previously Lot 173 from our 1994 Memphis sale. At that time, it realized $1017.50. We would expect a similar or better result this evening for this simply stellar, hugely margined piece.

Auction 282 | Lot 588 » Fractional Currency » First Issue
Fr. 1310 50c First Issue Superb Gem New. One of the most outstanding examples of this type that we have ever seen. The surfaces are utterly original, the centering of both sides approaches perfection and the perforations are deep and full all the way around. Perforated 50c notes are difficult to locate in even Choice condition and it is unlikely that half a dozen pieces exist with the overall quality of this piece.

Auction 282 | Lot 30 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2/3 Choice Very Fine. Lovely for the grade, with a strong red signature and serial number that make an impact. This is the only issue of Continentals that contained these Fractional denominations. They're extremely popular with collectors, due in the most part to the use of Ben Franklin's sundial vignette on the face and the thirteen chain links, containing the names of the original colonies, surrounding "We are One," on the back. These devices were adapted for the 1776 Continental Dollar coins and the 1787 Fugio Cent.

Auction 282 | Lot 32 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1 Very Choice New. A gorgeous example that would be a perfect Gem were it not for very slight tightness of the margin at the upper left. The serial number and signatures are bold, and the entire note is sharply printed both face and back. The overall appearance is super. $1 Continentals are a more challenging denomination to locate as they were produced for only five of the eleven issues. This beautiful piece should satisfy the fussiest of collectors.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2 Choice About New. An absolutely lovely note that gives the appearance of a full Gem when viewed from either side.

Auction 282 | Lot 41 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $5 Choice New. Both the red and brown signatures are bright and bold, as is the serial number. The margins are a bit close in places, but are primarily quite generous, and the note is Gem quality but for some very minor stains on the well printed back. An unusually high quality Continental.
