Lot 2850		Continental Currency Jan. 14, 1779 $60. Choice About New 58. Fr-CC-99.

Lot 2859		Delaware Jan. 1, 1776 20s. PCGS About New 53PPQ. Fr-DE-80. This lovely example is about as nice an "AU" Delaware as we can recall seeing. It has four broad margins and is ideally centered on both sides, and the paper and printing quality are outstanding. A single horizontal fold limits the grade, but the eye appeal and originality are above average in every respect. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $253
Lot 2860		Maryland April 10, 1774 $8. PCGS Very Fine 30. Fr-MD-70. A very attractive mid-grade example of the highest denomination from this issue date.

Lot 2861		Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $7. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. Fr-MA-283. Although PCGS Currency notes a "repaired edge split at the top center" of this note, this piece is exemplary in that it is not hole cancelled, a feature that easily 19 out of 20 pieces from this issue usually exhibits. Estimated Value $100 - 150. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $161
Lot 2862		New York Aug. 13, 1776 $3. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. Fr-NY-203. The PCGS Currency label notes some minor edge damage and stains, flaws which do not overly detract from this rather handsome piece. A vignette of the Ten Commandments is featured on the back, and the deterent slogan "'Tis Death to counterfeit" is present on the face. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $161
Lot 2863		New York March 5, 1776 $2/3. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ. Fr-NY-190. A lovely example of this fractional denomination, with outstanding margins that frame the face design almost ideally. The back design is off center a hair to the right, with a small portion of the adjacent note on the sheet showing at left. About as nice an "XF" one is bound to find from this issue, which is often plagued by excessively toned or damaged paper or other flaws. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 2864		North Carolina Aug. 8, 1778 $1/2. Fr-NC-172. A very pleasing example of this issue that is seldom seen much finer. There are no major flaws present, and the printing and inks are sharp and bold. A large piece of mica is present at the bottom center of the face, giving the collector an ideal example of the primitive methods of anti-counterfieting that were used by Colonial era printers. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $196
Lot 2865		South Carolina April 10, 1778 15s. PCGS About New 50. Fr-SC-150. There are four common denominations from this date of issue, and the remaining four are very scarce in all grades. This 15 shilling note that displays the "Rising Sun" vignette is as nice as any we've seen. It is free of any flaws save for a tiny nibble in the lower left corner, which was undoubtedly accounted for in the grade as the note has but a single light bend and would otherwise easily grade 55 or 58. This piece is considerably nicer than the Apparent About New 55 example that sold last September in a Heritage sale for $1,265, and we wouldn't be at all surprised with a realization today well over our perhaps conservative estimate. An important offering for the Colonial or South Carolina specialist. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 2866		Four Different Jan. 14, 1779 Continental Denominations. Fr-CC-87.

Lot 2877		T-54 1852 $2. PCGS Very Choice New 64. Fr-CT-54. This deuce has perhaps the nicest margins that we've ever seen on this usually poorly cut issue. It is lacking a higher numerical grade and a PPQ designation only because of some very light toning of the paper which is not out of character for this series. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $168
