Continental Currency Fr#CC-93 January 14, 1779 $30 PMG 58 EPQ *Exceptional*
The January 14, 1779 issue was passed to act as a redemption for notes of the May 20, 1777 and April 11, 1778 issues due to extensive British counterfeiting. New border cuts for this issue read “UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA” and uniquely features red and black ink by Hall and Sellers as well as watermarked paper. The 6 lowest denominations ($1-$20) plus $70 and $80 were watermarked “UNITED STATES” in two lines. The $30-$65 bills were watermarked “CONFEDERATION”. This $30 note features an emblem of a wreath on a tomb. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “SI RECTE FACIES” (If you act righteously you will be honored after death). The reverse features nature print of climbing fumitory. Absolutely stunning near uncirculated example with light, crisp, and clean paper with bold signatures. Well deserving of the EPQ designation from PMG.
