Continental Congress. May 10, 1775. Twenty Dollars. “Marbled Border” Type. Minor Restorations. PCGS graded Apparent Extremely Fine-40.

Fr. CC-9.  This is an impressive example of the popular, Twenty Dollars “Marbled Border” Continental Congress type.  An example is seen illustrated on the front cover of the current 5th Edition of “THE EARLY PAPER MONEY OF AMERICA” reference by Eric Newman.  This note has deft small sealed centerfold edge splits and remains superior in its quality and overall eye appeal to most of this type.  It has three full large margins on both its face and back, the indent side showing a nice colorful “Marbled Border” at left.  The black printed text and vignette designs are sharp and distinct.  There is a bold deep brown serial number and the signatures of Fred.(erick) Kuhl and “A(nthony) Morris, Jr.” are written in dark brown and light red ink. The text “Twenty Dollars” is printed in black, nicely centered on the “Marbled” portion at left.
This note represents a totally unique design type, in its shape, size and format, with the “Marbled Border” being the only such Continental issued note available to collectors.  This special paper was provided to the Continental Congress by Benjamin Franklin.  It is a classic and “Key” type note in this field of collecting and is aggressively valued in the current 5th Edition of Newman at $35,000 in Extremely Fine.
