 Colony of the Massachusetts Bay. August 18, 1775. Seven Shillings and Six Pence. No.110. Payable on August 18, 1778. Signed by Wheeler and Plympton. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on rigid, thick stock. 76mm by 101mm. Again, nearly epic in scope. This lower denomination note is usually seen in Good or so when encountered, split, tattered and other abuses inherent with heavy trade use. Once again, by some great miracle and to the benefit of collectors today, this fabulous note is submitted for the present collection fraternity to enjoy and own. Crisp Uncirculated with hints of a horizontal bend. There is some light handling on the corners. Bright, vivid and well margined on both sides. The back shows some beginnings of plate wear and does not have the sharpness seen on the prior ''as issued'' Sword in Hand notes. A minor ink blot over the '75' of the back date. Boyd's pencil code, ''ryxx'', at the bottom of the back. However, at the top one percentile or better of all known ''Swords''. Significant four figures to low five figures is warranted for this lovely note.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
