The edges are erratically cut, but the centering is excellent and the margins are complete all around. Clean and light in color, and also rather lightly inked, as made. A faint mounting remnant on the back is the only defect worthy of specific mention. Signatures of James Ross and J. Snowden are clear and legible. 5062 April 11, 1778. $7. Serial: 181198. Uncirculated (see below) $2,000.00 - but trimmed tightly at the right end and bottom of the face. The back is well centered, with comfortable margins all around.

Signatures of Edward Fox, who signed only this...  more 5064 September 26, 1778. $5. Serial: 89057.

Nicely centered on the face, with the back a little less so, but still with complete design borders. Fairly bold and evenly printed and nicely signed by Robert Roberts and Isaac All, who signed only this issue. A very pleasing note. 5065 September 26, 1778. Pair of counterfeit detectors on blue paper: (see below) $160.00 * $5 * $7. Both notes graded AU, but each with pinholes and old numbers hand-written on the face, likely by a collector long ago.

Uncirculated (see below) $400.00 Well centered, but the edges are roughly trimmed and the margins are very tight. Somewhat softly inked on the back, but clean and bright. Nice signatures of R. Roberts and Isaac All. 5068 September 26, 1778. $20. Serial: 204045. Choice AU (see below) $320.00 - with minor traces of handling and a vertical fold along the left end likely the result of careless sheet handling rather than actual circulation. The paper is bright and clean, save for slight aging around the edges. Margins are tight in places, and very broad in others. Bold signatures of Samuel Lyon and R. Roberts. 5069 September 26, 1778. $30. Serial: 40780. Uncirculated (see below) $315.00 Paper trivially aged, with a few minor foxing spots and handling marks noted, but crisp and decently margined.
