 Colony of New Hampshire. June 20, 1775. Forty Shillings. No.191. Payable on December 20, 1776. Signed by Thompson and Gilman. Printed on laid paper with watermark visible at the left (Arms of the City of London type?). 162mm by 81mm. Standard designs with text at the right and indent at the left with vignette of a tree with crossed trunks. Serial number block at the top center in large square brackets and date over the upper right portion of the text. A third different New Hampshire Copper Plate by Revere. An offering of three different from this series is a rare occurrence. The Wayne Rich New Hampshire Collection (Bowers & Merena, March, 2002) did not have a single Copper Plate note. A very crisp note, but with roughness on the corners. Fine or so. Quarter folded with the vertical split open and patched on the back. A one inch left edge split is not repaired and there is roughness and rounding to all four corners to some degree. Some surface soiling at the left with the right end being brighter. Not bad at all for what it is, a tough type note.
