Descripción:: Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 Fr. CC-9. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is a very collectible example of one of America's most historic paper currency notes. Uniquely printed from the May 10, 1775 Session, the $20 uses marbled polychromatic paper, which is visible at the left end. The marbled paper obtained by Benjamin Franklin for this purpose was later used on the first United States Federal Loan Certificate (Anderson-Smythe US-1). The face and back emblems and mottos were sketched by Franklin. These emblems also appeared on the backs of $30 Continental notes. This PCGS certified example has excellent color. Grading notes "Repaired Edge and Internal Splits; Minor Stains; Edge Damage." This note is appealing overall. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (1/2017). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $2232.50. (Lot 90316)

Descripción:: Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $1 Pink Counterfeit Detector Fr. CC-1DT. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. This is an important and possibly unique May 10, 1775 $1 pink paper counterfeit detector note. It is among the rarest of all Colonial detector notes including the May 10, 1775 $20 blue detector notes. These pink paper detector notes are a bit of a mystery because their great rarity has yielded few examples to study. The May 10, 1775 Session notes are the first Continental currency issue. There were ten denominations authorized. The $20 marbled paper notes were printed separately due their different size, unique style, and distinctive paper. The $30 notes from the session also had a unique character, with an unusual back featuring the two Benjamin Franklin motif emblems that were also used on the $20 notes. The eight other denominations, $1 to $8, were printed on eight-subject panes. This $1 pink detector is the only lower denomination we have observed from this plate array. Any other pink detector lower denominations are not confirmed. This is a "Partial Note; Missing Left Third" and so noted by grading. The back printing is also partially weak at the right. An important Continental Currency note and the sole confirmed example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (1/2017). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $1175.00. (Lot 90313)
