 State of New Hampshire. April 29, 1780 Act. Twenty Dollars. No.873-. Signed by McClure, Pearson and Robinson; countersigned on the back by Jn. Taylor Gilman. Printed on thin paper, watermarked 'CONFEDE/RATION'. Standard size, designs and imprint as used on Maryland and other State issued ''Guaranteed'' notes. This is the highest denomination on the issue and all Guaranteed notes. There were also 2,900 notes printed with the most known in hole cancelled state.
This note is uncancelled and is exceptional. Ignoring the petty old-time collector handling yields a deeply embossed and vivid note that is one of the finest we have seen. Fully Choice Crisp Uncirculated. Immaculate surfaces on both sides with bright back color. The mica glitters and the text embossing to the back has Braille-like resolution across the superb paper surfaces. Only light edge handling and a close top margin from awesome Gem condition.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
