    Description
    Choice & Scarce
    January 14, 1779 "SIXTY DOLLARS" Continental Colonial Currency Note.
    Conservatively graded & certified by PMG as AU50 EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality), with very nice eye-appeal. There are no problems of any kind, and there are no pin holes.
    Colorful serial number and signatures. Darkly inked on both sides including the
    interesting vignette of "
    the earth
    " with the Latin motto DEUS REGNAT EXULTET TERRA, "
    God reigns, let the earth rejoice
    ".
    Bold 5-digit serial number 80273 in red ink, along with the equally bold signatures of William Stretch (in red ink), and that of John Leacock (in brown ink).
    Multi-colored watermarked paper that reads "
    CONFEDE RATION
    " on two lines when held upto a light source. This, along with embedded thick blue threads in the paper itself, and tiny reflective mica chips on the surfaces were all used on these early paper money notes to help protect them from counterfeiting (both British sponsored and "homegrown" counterfeiters). See last photo.
    This is an authentic & historical item that was printed in 1779 and issued during the Revolutionary War (1775-83), less than a three years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
