Description
High-Grade Counterfeit Detector Half Sheet
Continental Currency September 26, 1778
$5-$7-$8-$20-$30-$40-$50-$60 Blue Counterfeit Detector Uncut Half
Sheet PCGS Very Choice New 64.With relatively rudimentary designs, it is not surprising that counterfeits of Continental Currency, some the result of British encouragement and participation, were soon a significant problem. One of the counter strategies was to print sheets of notes from genuine plates on blue (and rarely pink) paper and send them out to persons required to handle currency. These were left unsigned and unnumbered. This half sheet (these sheets were originally printed as double sheets of sixteen notes) comprises the eight denominations of the September 26, 1778 issue and has obviously been well cared for in the past 243 years. The sheet looks like it came of the press yesterday.
