    I came up this note this week, and got a sweet deal, BUT... I am no expert on Grading Currency, especially anything this old. I'd truly appreciate help on an approximate grade and value that I could get for this 1779 $20 Continental Currency. I'll take offers on it, but plan on putting it on EBay, really.

    I'd appreciate everyone's expert opinion!

    I took a little better lighted picture, as the Red really isn't that faded on the bill. Think it was the fluorescent lights I took the pics under. - dunno if it will help or not. Also, I can't see the values on that link without remembering my HA sign in! LOL!

    Those prices seem to be 10+ years old... think it should go for more than $100, don't you?

    All it takes is two bidders that want it for the prices to climb. Not all of the sales were 10 + years ago...I see one from Oct.2015

    Please let us know what a “sweet deal” is on your end.

    What would you say is the Serial Number??? It isn't hard to read! It is just poor penmanship!!! "95920" or "96920" is what I see are possibilities. What do you think????
