Colony of New Hampshire. November 3, 1775. Nine Pence. No.2484. Payable on December 20, 1779. Signed by Calfe and Gilman. Printed on coarse laid paper. 150mm by 59mm. Uniface, standard typeset design with pattern border and ornamental end panel with denomination. Small plate format note. For the note and paper type, Fine to Very Fine. Quarter folded vertically, but the folds are not split through and the note is not glued together or on backing strip ''life support'' like 99% of the notes of this plate we have seen. As such, Choice for the note. Darkened with an ''apex of the pyramid'' streaking of rust at the top center. The lower left is trimmed in slightly. No repairs of any sort and as such, a miracle note. Perhaps, a condition census example on the type.
