Yorktown, NY. $8, 3 full margins and one just barely cutting into the top right margin, this lovely note is from one of the rarest issues of Continental Currency. This is also a genuine note where most of this issue found are not. Thousands of counterfeits of this issue were printed by the British which led to a recall of these notes. Counterfeits were not accepted or redeemed at the recall and as a result are considerably more common than genuine examples. Rare note in any condition and this is easily in the top 5 of the condition consensus.
