Continental Currency. September 26, 1778 $50 Newman 2.3
Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. CC-85CF. PCGS Choice About New
58PPQ.A different variety with typeset commas on the face, and in choice grade. No.3269. Printed on thin paper.
Diagnostics:
Newman 2.3: Typeset. This counterfeit may have many variations due to movement or replacement of typeset letters.
On the face: Same as Newman 2.2 except the commas after Philadelphia and 26th have now been corrected by the insertion of typeset commas. To the right of the serial number, the upright of the second f in Fifty points to the space between the words the Bearer below it. On the genuine, it points directly to the upper left serif of the B in Bearer. The baseline of the first to is lower than the baseline of Bearer. In the motto, the left lower serif of the P in PERENNIS is present. On the genuine bill, this P was broken, resulting in the absence of this serif.
On the back: The top of the T in FIFTY is higher than the top of the preceding F.
There is an ink break in the right end border cut. A "PPQ" note, a designation not often seen on a counterfeit with faint handling.
Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society
Auction Info
Buyer's Premium per Lot:
20% of the successful bid (minimum $19) per lot.
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
