Colony of New York February 16, 1771 3 Pounds Fr. NY-165. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. A well-accomplished genuine note deeply printed by Hugh Gaine and showing the borders and Arms engraved by Elisha Gallaudet. The denomination "LX" followed by the shilling symbol has moved up from the bottom left; "III.L" is to the left of the Arms, "60s" has moved beneath the counterfeit warning, and the bottom border shows a variety of type ornaments rather than a row of stars. Despite the "Edge Splits, Tears, and Hinge Repairs" noted by grading, bright and bold with embossing seen on the blank back. An appealing example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
