Andrew Bunner
, enlisted in the 4th Continental Light Dragoons also
known as Moylan's Horse
was raised on January 5, 1777, at
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
, for service with the
Continental Army
under
Colonel
Stephen Moylan
. The regiment entered the history books by taking the field in captured British scarlet coats as noted in a letter from
General
George Washington
to Colonel Moylan dated May 12, 1777, in which Moylan was directed to have his uniforms dyed to avoid confusion with British dragoons. The regiment changed to green coats faced in red during the summer of 1778, with
Tarleton helmets
(black leather helmets in the style associated with
Banastre Tarleton
).
The regiment saw action at the
Battle of Brandywine
and the
Battle of Germantown
in their scarlet uniforms, and the
Battle of Guilford Court House
and the
Siege of Yorktown
in their more familiar green coats. The regiment was furloughed June 11, 1783, at Philadelphia and disbanded on November 15, 1783.
This is a much more scarce note. Only 83,611 were printed in 1775 (much lower printing than most later issues), and not many of these have survived the past 248 years in undamaged condition. Lower denomination notes such as this .00 note were extensively used in day-to-day commerce resulting in even a much lower survival rate than the higher denomination notes and those that did survive are often well-worn and/or have problems.
An authentic & historical item that was printed in 1775 and issued during the Revolutionary War (1775-83), just a few months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776.
Friedberg lists a value of ,000 for a CC-11 in XF45 condition (see last photo).
