- Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/2 Fr. CC-21. PCGS New 62PPQ. The February 17, 1776 small denomination notes, with Benjamin Franklin-designed motifs on both sides, are fascinating. The face shows the Fugio design that was used on the Continental Dollars, and later the 1787 Fugio coppers, with FUGIO, the sundial, and MIND YOUR BUSINESS motto. The backs correspond to the coin designs with WE ARE ONE in the center encircled by AMERICAN CONGRESS, with a glory of rays around. These elements are all enclosed by links in a chain bearing the names of the original thirteen colonies. The Fugio notes should be considered Fractional Continental Dollars. The smaller vertical format with this design has an excellent layout. The four fractional denominations were printed on large 24-subject double-pane sheets with each denomination having plate positions A, B, and C. This C position note is bold and original. The side margins on the face are close or slightly in. However, the back is beautifully centered and fully margined. An excellent type note and always coveted by collectors. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1997.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18235. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 Fr. CC-9. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. The May 10, 1775 Session $20 Marbled Border note is one of the most stirring and iconic American paper money notes. The Continental Congress series notes commenced with this uniquely styled type. Its overall rarity and direct relationship to Benjamin Franklin's printing innovations make it highly sought after. Franklin furnished the well-crafted marbled polychrome paper used for the notes; the unique paper type was designed to deter counterfeiting. Franklin used a similar marbled paper for the United States loan certificates made near Paris to finance the late stages of the American Revolution. Most importantly, he sketched the inspired face and back emblems and mottos. They were later paired together on the May 10, 1775 Session $30 notes as well as on the backs of the $30 notes from three subsequent resolutions. On the face, within a pattern border, are the emblem at left and obligation at right. Across the top are the words, CONTINENTAL CURRENCY. The circular medallic emblem shows wind personified as a large face ruffling the water with his strength. The motto VI CONCITATE (Driven by force) is above, within the outer circle. The back, printed coin turn, has a wider pattern border and different emblem than the face. "Continental Currency'' is at top right, the denomination right center, and the imprint of Hall and Sellers at the bottom right. The back emblem at the left features ships on calm sea, with radiant sun shining above, encircled with the motto CESSANTE VENTO CONQUIESCEMUS (When the storm dies down we will rest). The notes were printed on sturdy, moderately thick paper with the marbled color border edge at left face. This paper type became fragile when creased and was subject to edge splits. There are not any fully Uncirculated notes known to us. The finest known is the PCGS Very Choice New 58 PPQ sold from the Poor Richard Collection in the Stack's Bowers 2011 ANA sale for $69,000 (serial No. 1652). This is an above average example. It is not split down the middle as often seen. The marbling is bold, but there is a small paper scrape upon it. Some central foxing is away from the Franklin-inspired emblems on each side. Noted with "Paper Pulls and Small Edge Tears at Left; Minor Stains; Missing UR Corner Tip." There are very few Marbled Border $20 notes that are fully intact such as this example, and it boasts a key pedigree. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5875.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18232. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $2 Fr. CC-2. PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ. The Continental Currency series, with 102 different type notes, has enjoyed great popularity during the past few years. These notes are quite interesting as circulating governmental obligations issued by Congress. Later in the Revolutionary War, their rapid depreciation rendered them essentially worthless: hence the expression "Not worth a Continental." When this currency became repudiated debt after the war, the populace who suffered losses had such disdain for paper money that the Federal government did not issue circulating on demand obligation paper money until it became necessary at the onset of the Civil War. The formation of a high quality 102-note typeset includes several rarer series and some sleeper types. The low denominations from this initial Continental date are rare in high grades, and this is one of the finest examples we have seen. Margins are complete on both sides, and the face-to-back registration is perfect. The eye appeal is splendid. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1292.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18231. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
