Delaware. Jan. 1, 1776 20 Shillings Colonial currency. Almost of gem quality with very fresh paper, little mica flakes, and clear signatures. PCGS graded Very Choice New 64PPQ.

December 1776 was a desperate time for George Washington and the American Revolution. The ragtag Continental Army was encamped along the Pennsylvania shore of the Delaware River exhausted, demoralized and uncertain of its future. It was in the year this note was issued that the famous Crossing of the Delaware River took place. During the night of December 25, Washington led his troops across the ice-swollen Delaware about 9 miles north of Trenton.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.

 
Realized $345
