Owner's Description

Three dollar Continental bills have an image of an Eagle and Heron Fighting with the Latin motto EXITUS IN DUBIO EST which translates to English as "the outcome is uncertain". This bill was signed by Samuel Sellers and Benjamin Brannan.

Three dollar bills are slightly more common in this series for Continental bills with about 250 examples graded, one-third of those are in AU or better.

PMG has graded about thirty five May 9, 1776, CC-33 bills with 30% receiving a grade of AU or better and 10% receiving an uncirculated grade. The May 9, 1776 $3 are the 63rd rarest of the 102 bills in the series.

There were 238,839 bills authorized.
