Continental Currency Fr#CC-94 January 14, 1779 $35 PCGS 45 *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 $35 note features an emblem of a plow in a field. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “HINC OPES” (Hence our wealth). The reverse features nature print of 2 willow leaves. Exceptional eye appeal on this note with crisp paper and bold ink, especially on the nature print. Incredibly clean for the grade. Previously a part of the extensive Dr. O’Shaughnessy Continental Collection.
