 Common-Wealth of Pennsylvania. April 10, 1777 in Red and Black. Four Pounds. No.3088. Signed by Davison and Cannon. Printed on rigid stock, watermarked, 'PENNSYL/VANIA'. Horizontal 1777 format style, approximately 105mm by 65mm. Border cuts in red enclose typeset with red denomination text, Commonwealth Seal in red at lower left. Back perpendicular to face, farming scene vignette in black with denomination in text above. Imprint 'Printed by John Dunlap/1777' in black. Thinner paper stock.
Choice About Uncirculated. Very hard to see vertical bending, not quite a fold. The embossing and color are stunning. Close margins as typical, but the cutting is superior to most. Very fresh, vivid and vibrant. This will bring much enjoyment to the next owner. Much, much harder to obtain in this grade than the 1776 Six Pounds ''Rittenhouse'' notes. As such, tremendously undervalued in comparison.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
