State of New Jersey. January 9, 1781 Act. Nine Pence. No.10119. Signed by P.[hilemon] Dickinson and B. Smith. Printed on rigid stock, watermarked 'NEW JERSEY'. Standard size and design style, State seal lower left. Nature leaf back pointed opposite to prior issues. Trenton printed by Isaac Collins. A superior example of this denomination and two grades higher than the DuPont Collection (R.M. Smythe Sale #115/#116, March, 1993) note relegated to the Mail Bid only section. Extremely Fine Plus. A light vertical fold, slightly diagonal to the center. Lightly toned paper with a small ink blot on the bottom margin. Beautifully centered on both sides with wide face margins for the issue. A much tougher note than most collectors realize.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
