Colony of the Massachusetts Bay. August 18, 1775. One Shilling. No.147. Payable on August 18, 1778. Signed by Wheeler and Plympton. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on thinner, coarse stock than normally seen. 74mm by 98mm. The lowest denomination and rarely seen in condition better than this. Very Good or better. Intact, but horizontally split as usual with crude paper backing strip repairs on the side edge splits. Mottled foxing with some stains, the back a little worse. There are some pinholes. However, all there and really a piece of history at your grasp. In a way, as enjoyable to handle as the Uncirculated ''Swords'' in this group. Own a presentable artifact crafted by Paul Revere at a fraction the cost of a high grade note.
