Massachusetts. Act of January 26, 1779. One Shilling Sixpence. No 1101. Signed by George Partridge. Fine with decent margins all around. A couple of minor edge splits are noted and part of the next note is seen at the lower left side. A couple of internal ''soft'' spots. A decent example of the ''rising sun'' design.
The rising sun design was engraved using new face plates that were cut by Paul Revere. He printed only the faces as the back were cut and printed by Thomas Fleet.
