State of Vermont 1781 1 Shilling 3 Pence Fr. VT-2. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This Vermont note faces up quite well and has three signatures at the bottom. The back is not visible as the note was backed upon a piece of contemporarily printed paper to increase the note's integrity and extend its circulation. However, sharply penned signatures and virtually all of the note's face details make this example appealing. Noted with "Splits, Tears, and Minor Damage; Backed." This is the second lowest denomination and much scarcer than the most often seen 2 shilling 6 pence note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society
Realized $4347.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18214. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions. |
