Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $40 Contemporary Counterfeit Choice New. This is the first of four $40 Yorktown British-sponsored counterfeits which we have to offer. The existence of these deceptive counterfeits is the reason that this April 11, 1778 issue is the rarest of all the Continentals. When these counterfeits appeared shortly after the genuine notes were issued, the Continental Congress voted to recall all April 11, 1778 notes. Counterfeits of Colonial Currency in general, and Yorktown counterfeits in particular, have always been highly collectable as an important example of economic warfare. Needless to say, they also have an important place in any Colonial Collection. This example is boldly signed, bright and beautifully printed.Auction Info
