Colony of the Massachusetts Bay. May 25, 1775. Ten Shillings. No.3563. Signed by Fuller and Gardner. Revere Copper Plate Note. Printed on laid paper. 174mm by 86mm. A borderline amazing example. One of the finest Copper Plate notes we have seen in a private collection. Choice Extremely Fine. There are three light vertical folds and some edge handling. The center fold has started to split at the base. However, the top margin is complete, shows the plate edge embossing and is untrimmed. Superior indent details and nearly complete. The ''Gardner'' is pen canceled in some blurring ink. The overall impact is stunning. As a type note to represent the series, few could be found to exceed this.
