Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $55, $35, $50, $30 Block of Four About New.

Auction 374 | Lot 15150 » Colonial Notes
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 20s Very Choice New. In spite of the reference works not recognizing these red notes as rare in higher grades, we've known for years that Red and Black 1777 Pennsylvania notes are all but nonexistent in uncirculated grade. The last one in this denomination that we handled was in 2002. The note is bright with deep original embossing and far better margined than what is generally seen.

Auction 374 | Lot 15155 » Colonial Notes
South Carolina December 23, 1777 (error date) $2 About New. This is the much scarcer variety with the erroneous date printed on the face. The final "7" in the date was pen-corrected to a "6" prior to the note's issue. This "1777" error occurred only on the $2 and $4 denominations, and on very few of them. We've seen this error before on partially signed Remainders, but cannot recall another fully signed and issued example. This piece, with its extremely light center fold and no other signs of circulation, must be among the finest extant examples, if indeed it is not the finest. An exceptional find for the many collectors of this colony's notes, and a piece that could bring a runaway price.

Auction 374 | Lot 15156 » Colonial Notes
South Carolina December 23, 1776 $4 Choice About New. A fully signed and issued note and as such, quite rare in this high grade. This issue is almost always seen as a remainder note with no serial number and only one or two signatures.

Auction 374 | Lot 15165 » Colonial Notes
Virginia October 20, 1777 $1/6 Very Choice New. Virginia notes are almost never found in this high a grade. This is a good-looking issue, with a nice vignette and a date that is partially handwritten and partially printed. The signature on this note is also bold and attractive. A very nice piece that should prove of interest to a number of bidders.

Auction 374 | Lot 15008 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $30 Gem New. This issue, particularly in high grade, is extremely scarce and highly underrated. None of the catalogs indicate this scarcity, but we have been tracking our own sales over the past 30 years and have come to realize that this is one tough issue in top grade. In CAA's 40 sales we've handled only a handful of Choice notes from this issue and this is only our third true Gem.

Auction 374 | Lot 15009 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $30 Choice About New. This note has the visual impact of a perfect Gem, and minus its extremely light fold, that is exactly what it would be. Worth far more than most Uncirculated examples.

Auction 374 | Lot 15010 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $6 Extremely Fine-About New. A lovely example for the grade with bold signatures and far better than normal margins. High grade, problem-free Continentals remain, in our opinion, considerably underpriced.

Auction 374 | Lot 15012 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $30 Choice Very Fine. A perfectly natural, problem-free Yorktown $30. This is the toughest issue to find in all grades and most examples seen are counterfeits. Luckily, no $30 counterfeits were made which greatly eases the process of deciding whether this note is genuine. It is, it has no choice! In our 14 sales with Heritage, we have handled only four $30 Yorktowns. This is a really nice example.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $8 Blue Paper Counterfeit Detector Choice New. Closely margined all around, but bright and quite attractive. These detectors were prepared on blue paper so that they could not be falsely filled in and used as currency. They were distributed for the purpose of comparison with suspicious notes to see if the engraving matched.
