Continental Currency
CC-28. Continental Currency. February 17, 1776. $6. PMG About Uncirculated 55.
No. 57629. Signed by Tybout and Hewes. Emblem of a beaver gnawing down a tree. Latin motto PERSEVERANDO, which Newman translates "By perseverance." A wonderfully centered example of this somewhat tougher denomination. The visual impact of this note's wide margins and jet-black printing are only outdone by its bold signatures and serial number. Only five uncirculated pieces have been numbered at PMG. In our March sale this year, we sold a tightly margined PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ for $1,320. The eye appeal of this evening's offering is every bit as choice.
