Lot #20102 - CC-101 $70 January 14, 1779
Continental Currency
CC-101 $70 January 14, 1779
Grade: PCGS XF 45
The $70 denomination is only found in this eleventh and final Continental emission. Printing $70 and $80 notes was necessitated by the rampant inflation in Continental Currency. These notes were added along with the lowest denomination notes on the much scarcer first sheet of this issue. The lengthiest motto founded on Continental Currency, VIM PROCELLARUM QUADRENNIUM SUSTINUIT (For four years it has withstood the force of storm), is seen on this $70 note. The Newman example graded XF 45 PPQ and sold for a whopping $1,680 last November.
