 Colony of New Jersey. March 25, 1776. Six Pounds. No.253. Signed by Rob't Smith, Jn. Johnston and Smyth. Printed on thinner, rigid paper watermarked 'NEW JERSEY'. Standard face designs with red New Jersey Arms and inside frame. An outer pattern in blue with blue texts. David Rittenhouse engraved the decorative border of this type and signed his work in fine letters. Standard leaf back in black. Burlington printed by Isaac Collins. Not a very rare type, but always in demand due to color, designs and the Rittenhouse tie.
A fourth example of this popular classic. Almost Uncirculated. Bold and vivid colors, but heavier handling on the upper right and other corner handling. The back has a glue remnant near the top with some light toning.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
