Description
Continental Currency $60 September 26th, 1778 FR-CC-86 Sig By Thomas Nevell & Ludson Simmons Printed By Hall & Sellers Grades Select AU. The September 26, 1778 Resolution emission saw the first appearance of the $60 denomination, thanks to the onset of depreciation of Continental Currency. The design featured an emblem showing the globe with the motto DEUS REGNAT EXULTET TERRA (God reigns let the earth rejoice) on the face and a print of a bow on the back. 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
