The note is nicely centered, and though the edges are a trifle uneven the margins are comfortable all around. Sharply and evenly printed on both sides, with sharp signatures of Samuel Stringer Coale and R. Johnson. A superb example of the type and worthy of placement in an advanced collection. |
|
5053 |

|
(see below) |
$500.00 |

|
5054 |
May 20, 1777. $2. Serial: 121806. VF
|
(see below) |
$280.00 |
- with some light soiling. The centering is a little off, resulting in a very broad left margin, but the design features are complete all around. Signatures somewhat faded, but discernible as C. Parr and Frederick Kuhn. These notes issued under the May 20, 1777 Resolution were the first to be engraved "The United States" as opposed to "The United Colonies" as seen on earlier issues. |
|
5055 |
May 20, 1777. $3. Serial: Uncertain. Uncirculated
|
(see below) |
$650.00 |
- but with edges trimmed down to the design border. Crisp and clean. Signatures are Thomas Warren, who signed only this issue, and Thomas Donnellan which is faded nearly to the point of illegibility. |

|
(see below) |
$750.00 |
- lightly folded through the center and with a corner bend. Edges are cut tight, but the design border is complete and the centering is very good. Boldly printed on both sides and certainly a premium quality example of the type. The signature of Joshua Barney is very weak, but that of William Aisquith is quite bold. |
|
5057 |
May 20, 1777. $5. Serial: 4065. Choice AU
|
(see below) |
$500.00 |
- with soft rounded corners, and signs of handling along edges but no creases through the body. Signatures of Samuel Stringer Coale and T. Hopkinson. |

5058 |
May 20, 1777. $6. Serial: 199257 (but difficult to discern with certainty). VF
|
(see below) |
$300.00 |
- or perhaps finer but foxed and with an apparent glue mount remnant on a back corner. Signatures of Charles Cist and J. Billmeyer. Tightly trimmed. |
|
5059 |
May 20, 1777. $30. Serial: 107386. Very Choice AU
|
(see below) |
$675.00 |

|
5060 |
April 11, 1778. $5. Serial: 190682. Uncirculated
|
(see below) |
$1,700.00 |
Minor signs of handling along the edges, which are a trifle uneven and show a small nick at the upper left corner. However, the note is free of folds through the body, it is darkly printed on the face and overall rather pleasing. Sharp signatures of Nathaniel Donnell and J. Snowden. |
