Continental Currency Fr#CC-71 April 11, 1778 $4 PMG 12 *Yorktown*
This extremely scarce and very sought after Continental issue was passed by the Continental Congress who met at York, Pennsylvania rather than Philadelphia from September 30, 1777 to June 27, 1778. During that time, Hall and Sellers moved their operation to York from Philadelphia as well. The entire Yorktown issue was recalled in June of 1779 due to immense British counterfeiting. This is why this issue is so difficult to find, especially genuine examples such as this one. Despite being lower grade, this note is problem free and a highlight of any Continental collection.
