 Colony of New Jersey. March 25, 1776. Six Pounds. No.334. 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 second bold and vividly colored example of this type. This is from the same bundle as the above example (note the serial is four ticks away). Crisp Uncirculated. Wonderful paper quality and colors. The margins are razor thin narrow but uniform, and the note presents quite well. A tiny nick from being part of a bundle seen when the note is held to the light.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
