 Colony of New York. March 25, 1755. Five Pounds. No.2536(?). Signed by Jno. Livingston, I.(saac) DePeyster and, perhaps Oliver DeLancey [very faint]. Printed on much thicker, coarse paper. Uniface with dark back, printed in black by James Parker. New York Arms to the right side, serpent columns and denomination inside seal. Anti-raising device of pound weight and ''V''. Only 2,092 notes authorized of this denomination. Fine or better, vertical crease, but not broken at all. Some face soiling and minor stains, but a solid type note. Slightly trimmed in with rounding of the corners. Most notes seen are badly split and used. Mr. Ford notes ''above average for issue'' and we concur.
