 February 17, 1776. $1. Serial: 75170. Choice Uncirculated, and nearly full Gem quality save for a small handling fold running parallel to the top right edge and confined to the margin. A very fresh and attractive note, with a broad left end margin and with complete design borders all around. Boldly printed, with bright and clearly legible signatures of Israel Whelen and Benjamin Jacobs. A superior example, and likely among the finest known. The lower denominations of the earlier Continental series are very difficult to find in high grade.
