Owner's Description

Five dollar Continental bills have an image of a hand gathering food from thorns face with the Latin Motto, "Sustine Vel Abstine" which translates as, "Either Survive to Give Up". This bill was signed by Adam Hubley and Joel Evans.

Five dollar bills are one of the most commonly encountered denominations in the Continental series with about 350 examples graded, one-third of those are in AU or better.

PMG has graded about twenty February 17, 1776, CC-27 bills with 80% receiving a grade of AU or better and 30% receiving an uncirculated grade. The February 17, 1776 $5 are the 23rd rarest of the 102 bills in the series.
