Owner's Description

The January 14, 1779 emission contains eight unique denominations. These denominations are typically more difficult to locate with about 60 examples of each denomination receiving grades from PMG. About half of the graded bills are in AU or better condition, and uncirculated examples exist for all of the bills.

The $35 has an image of Plow in field with the Latin motto, “Hinc Opes”, which translates to English as, “hence our wealth”. This bill was signed by Jacob Masoner and John Graff.

The emblems and mottoes used on the $35, $40, $45, $50, $60, $70, and $80 denominations were developed by Francis Hopkinson who, with his family, unsuccessfully sought compensation from the Continental Congress and the U.S. Congress for this work

PMG has graded about fifty five January 14, 1779, CC-94 bills with 40% receiving a grade of AU or better and 10% receiving an uncirculated grade. The January 14, 1779 $35 are the 85th rarest of the 102 bills in the series.
