May 10, 1781 Act. Thirty Shillings. Unnumbered. Signed by N.[icholas] Harwood and...") State of Maryland. May 10, 1781 Act. Thirty Shillings. Unnumbered. Signed by N.[icholas] Harwood and I.[saac] McHard. Printed on laid paper. Typeset face with full red border cuts with ornate style. Back with State Arms in red, surrounded by ornate ornamental frame. Imprint 'Printed by F. Green'. Issue backed by confiscated Tory properties. The fifth ''Red'' note in this sale and a final example from this epic ''Red Money'' set in the Ford-Boyd Collection (complete sans one denomination, the Fifteen Shillings).
About Extremely Fine. Crisp with a vertical fold, lower right corner crease, and handling. Lower left corner rounded and very slightly chipped. The colors are bold on both sides. Typical tight margins seen on this series. Minor surface soiling seen on the back. Pleasing and vivid. An incredible opportunity for the forward thinking. Advanced collectors will recognize this historic event now and forever.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
The margins on this issue are tight. We would surmise the notes were tight on the sheet of eight denominations.
