No.4741. Signed by [illegible, faint]. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on moderately thick stock. 70mm by 90mm. The lowest denomination Sword in Hand type. Because of this, they circulated heavily. Very Good or so. The crease has only a left side split. However, the note is quite dark and trimmed considerably with rounded corners. Pleasant for the grade. |

No.3741. Signed by Hopkins. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on moderately thick stock. 76mm by 94mm. A well margined and evenly circulated example. Fine to Very Fine, and many will consider close to the latter. The crease is moderate with a right side split. Modest soiling with some edge nicks. An excellent candidate for a Massachusetts type set of Colonials. |

No.5859. Signed by Wheeler and Rice. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on moderately thick stock. 78mm by 94mm. Close to exceptional for this series dates and yet another incredible Sword in Hand from the Ford-Boyd Collection. Back plate weakness on the left side of the date. About Uncirculated, some might say Choice. Seen from the verso are two very faint horizontal folds adjacent to each... more |

No.2714. Signed by Hopkins and Pynchon. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on rigid, thick stock. 78mm by 103mm. Though the note is not Uncirculated, the visual appeal of this Sword is wonderful. The plate state on the face is very early with rich details from the border flourishes to the deepest interiors of the texts. The back plate is also boldly detailed and was inked with superb care. The note is a bold impression... more |

No.18. Signed by Morgan and Ely. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on moderately thick stock. 79mm by 102mm. Some weakness on the face plate state, particularly the right end.

Very Fine to Extremely... more |

No.5084. Signed by Rice and Sewall. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on thin paper stock. 77mm by 97mm. The variations on the paper stock types used for this issue of Sword in Hand notes is much less consistent than the paper used on the August 18, 1775 series. This paper is quite thin and similar to the Dutch watermarked paper used on higher denomination counterfeits in this series. Counterfeits... more |

No.1155. Contemporary Counterfeit. ''Signed'' by Wheeler and Rice. Revere Sword in Hand Type. Printed on thin, laid paper stock. 74mm by 97mm. A contemporary counterfeit type that corrected some of the errors observed on the August 18, 1775 30 Shillings type. A key diagnostic of this counterfeit is the lines on the waistcoat in lieu of pointed buttons. Because most of the notes known of this... more |

No.5008. Contemporary Counterfeit. ''Signed'' by Wheeler and Rice. Revere Sword in Hand Type. Printed on thin, laid paper stock with visible Dutch watermark at top. 76mm by 97mm. A second example of this type. The plate diagnostics are nearly identical, we believe. The inking is a deeper impression, particularly on the back. Again, a note usually seen in low grade and thus difficult to study. The... more |

No.1138 [?, faint]. Contemporary Counterfeit. Signed by Wheeler and Rice. Revere Sword in Hand Type. Printed on thin, laid paper stock. 76mm by 97mm. A third example. On this lesser grade note, the paper is more of the giveaway, as is the ''Rice'' signature. Very Fine. Trimmed at the left significantly. Rather toned on both sides with a backing strip at the right end of the back. Penned... more |

No.4831. Contemporary Counterfeit. ''Signed'' by Rice and Sewall. Revere Sword in Hand Type. Printed on rigid stock. 77mm by 91mm. Another plate state that could be open to debate. Newman lists this counterfeit and high denominations were of course more prone to making it worthwhile to create a plate. This also has more linear style buttons on the waistcoat. The face details are just not as strong as the... more |
