***Auction Highlight*** Continental Currency Febuary 26th, 1777 $7 Fr-CC60 Baltamore Issue Sig. R. Smith Grades AU, Almost Unc. The printing and wide margins make this a perfect type note to represent the "at Baltimore" resolution. The emblem and nature print details are exemplary. A contemporary penned name is discreetly placed on the back. An emission of $5,000,000 payable in Spanish milled dollars, or the equivalent in gold or silver, was authorized by the Continental Congress then meeting in Baltimore because Philadelphia was occupied by British troops. The location of the printers, Hall and Sellers, which had been mentioned on previous issues was left off of this and all subsequent Continental Congress issues. Although this emission is known as the Baltimore issue Newman suspects the bills could have been partly or entirely printed in Philadelphia. This was the last issue to use the phrase "The United Colonies." The paper, made at Ivy Mills in Chester County, Pennsylvania, contained blue fibers and mica flakes. Detector bills were printed on blue paper. Denominations printed were: $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $30.
