 Colony of New York. April 21, 1760. Two Pounds. No.2687. Signed by Elias Des Brosses, Rob.(ert) G. Livingston, and John Bogert, Jr. Possibly a contemporary counterfeit, cited in Newman, but a borderline case. Printed on laid paper. Uniface, printed in black by William Weyman. New York Arms to the right with serial number over, column at the right and border cuts at the left and top with denomination inside seal. Anti-raising device of two pound weights at the top center. Good to Very Good, split at the center and rejoined with glue. All there, minus some minor voids in the paper and pinholes. Decent looking for the technical grade and scarcity.
