Colony of New York. April 15, 1758. Ten Pounds. No.3641(?, very faint). Signed by Henry Cuyler, Jr., David Van Horne, and a very faint signature. Printed on coarse paper, not as thick as prior series. Uniface, however the dark back has been peeled away. Printed in black by James Parker. New York Arms to the right, columns with top frieze and denomination inside seal. Anti-raising device of two pound weights with ''V'' top center. Tough to say when the coarse back separated from the printed face. The note may have circulated without the back; that might explain the faded number and weak signatures. As is, the part left looks Extremely Fine, with a vertical fold with a top edge split. There is some rounding to the corners.
