 Colony of the Massachusetts Bay. August 18, 1775. Twenty Shillings. No.6569. Payable on August 18, 1779. Signed by J.[ames] Prescott and Plympton. Revere Sword in Hand Note. Printed on thick, coarse stock. 76mm by 94mm. Standard face and back designs. This denomination represented in the epic Ford X Sale offering in May, 2006, but with a different payable date. A sharply printed and detailed note. Very Fine or so. Uniform toning with a sharp crease across the note as usual. This has a slight break at one side and has lifted up some of the central surface of the face. Moderately soiled on both sides. Overall, a high grade note on this issue or any other Sword in Hand note series. The clarity of the face adds considerably to the appeal.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
