 State of Rhode Island. Act of July 2, 1780 Guaranteed by the United States Issue. Uncut Complete Double Pane Sheet of Sixteen Notes. No.360//396. Each pane arranged four vertically by two horizontally, $5-$7-$8-$20/$1-$2-$3-$4. Printed on heavy paper, watermarked 'CONFEDE/RATION', by Hall and Sellers. Each note signed by Comstock and Harris. The verso guarantees are not signed. The faces with text and interest table with ornate border. The backs with motifs used on the Continental notes with orange protectors and side panels. Two complete denomination sets of this Act. This is the most available of all large double sheets in the Colonial series. However, attrition due to cutting has made them now fairly scarce in complete form. Eventually, over time, few will remain as single notes are cut from the remaining sheets. This example is fresh and vibrant with the natural gutter fold running vertically. For the type, Gem Uncirculated. Two spindle folds in the gutter and an outside the margin pinhole.
