 Colony of New Hampshire. January 26, 1776. Three Dollars. No.959. Portsmouth Issue Printed by Daniel Fowle. Payable on January 26, 1784. Signed by Smith and White. Printed on thick, coarse stock. 72mm by 88mm. Standard face and back designs by Fowle with his imprint. Another denomination on this rare series and in excellent grade. Very Fine or better. Slightly dark with moderate handling. No unsightly flaws, just honest use with slightly rounded corners. The paper stock used for this issue was quite durable and as such did not fray and tatter like the earlier, thin paper issues of 1775. Boyd's pencil code, ''miyx'', on the left back edge. A very suitable type note for this rough series.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
