    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $5 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. A very good looking - and importantly, genuine - Yorktown example. This Yorktown issue is the only truly rare issue of the eleven different emissions of Continental Currency. The British printed many thousands of counterfeits of this issue, which brought about a recall of all the Yorktowns, including the genuine notes. Counterfeits were rejected at the recall, and consequently are far more common than genuine examples. This piece is beautifully margined, with a strong vignette and a well centered back design.
