 Federal Indent. Requisition of Congress September 27, 1785. One Dollar. No.12.433. Signed by John Hardy. Anderson US-165 (High R7). Partly printed form. Printed on laid paper. 15.5cm by 9.5cm. Typeset form with top and bottom borders, at the left an indent with protector 'ONE DOLLAR'. A rare series of notes that were meant to circulate. Space was set aside for written fractional denomination in the form of 'ninetieths of a Dollar'. This was based on the conversion of 90 Pence to a Spanish Milled Dollar in New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. A choice example with broad margins for the issue. Extremely Fine. There is a minor burn through in the space adjacent to 'and', but otherwise a magnificent looking example. The Hardy signature is bold and much of the indent shows at the left.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
The indents were issued in two different issued dates of September 27, 1785 and October 11, 1787.
