***Auction Highlight*** Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $1 FR-CC-1 Sig Samuel Morris, Thomas Barton JR Grades vf++. This first of the Continentals has always been known to be a scarce note. The print amounts were equal for all of the eight lowest denominations, but when this first issue "hit the streets," Continentals were worth fully par, and the One Dollar note was the workhorse. Even without their heavy use in circulation, One Dollar would be a scarce denomination for Continentals, as it was only printed in the first four issues and the eleventh and final issue. Hall & Sellers was a Philadelphia printing company originally established by Benjamin Franklin. In 1743 Franklin hired David Hall (1714-77), a Scottish journeyman printer, and in 1748 made the latter a partner. The firm printed Pennsylvania Gazette, Franklin's newspaper. In 1766 Franklin sold his share in the business to Hall, and later that same year Hall brought in the journeyman printer William Sellers as his new partner, establishing Hall & Sellers. The firm carried government contracts, including printing paper money. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
