Colony of New York February 16, 1771 10 Pounds Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. NY-167CF. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. This counterfeit 10 Pounds appears initially "flatter" compared with its genuine counterpart. While this plate is far from being crude, the obvious observed plate difference is that the bottom border's left bold ball ornament is slightly to the left of the "CC" above it. The paper is noted as "Toned" by PCGS, but this is an exceptional example of any note, genuine or counterfeit, from the series. An excellent companion to the previous genuine bill from the Newman Collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20029, realized $1020. |
