CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 1:34 pm American Numismatic Society - The Irish-American printer John Dunlap of Philadelphia produced this broadside in 1778/1779 at the direction of John Gibson, the auditor general for the Continental Congress. Dunlap's most famous printing job was undoubtedly the Declaration of Independence, the first copies of which are colloquially known today as 'Dunlap broadsides,' but he was also the general printing contractor for the Continental Congress. This broadside is a single sheet measuring 8#8243; x 16#8243; and its heading gives a fairly precise indication of its purpose: DESCRIPTION OF COUNTERFEIT BILLS, Which were done in Imitation of the True Ones ordered by the Honorable the CONTINENTAL CONGRESS, Bearing Date 20th May, 1777, and 11th April, 1778.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/08/2015 01:00 am For $98 I recently bought an $8 continental. It's in bad condition, but came from a reputable dealer at a major PNNA show. Are there any good ways to determine if these notes are contemporary counterfeits? It is dated September 26th, 1778. It appears to be signed by a 'J. Walter' (Joseph Walter), other signatures and serial no. are faded. Report this Post to the Staff
