Description

CC-22. Continental Currency. February 17, 1776. $2/3. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.

Printed by Hall & Sellers in Philadelphia, 1776. The design motifs of the fractional notes from the Resolution of February 17, 1776 are perhaps the most iconic in the Continental Currency series, employing Benjamin Franklin's sundial and 13 linked rings in a circle, later employed on the Continental Dollar of 1776 and the Fugio Cent of 1787. Both of these elements appear in all their detail and glory on this beautifully printed and margined note. Recent auction results for Continental Currency show that demand has yet to wane and consequently prices continue to rise ever higher.

Estimate: $600.00- $1200.00
