CC-59. Continental Currency. February 26, 1777. $6. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.No. 8272. Signed by Coale and Johnson. Emblem of a beaver gnawing on a tree. Latin motto PRESERVANDO, which Newman translates "By perseverance." PMG notes "Pinholes." Both the PMG census and auction records bear out that CU examples of this "at Baltimore" issue and denomination are scarce. It has really been since 2015 since other better examples have been sold. The Top Pop PMG 67 EPQ realized $14,100 that year and a PMG 64 (no EPQ) fell just short of the $2,500 mark.
