 Colonial Currency


56 - A BEAUTIFUL FRAMED PRESENTATION OF A NOTE FROM EACH OF THE 13 COLONIES
, A beautiful presentation custom matted of an example of currency from each of the original 13 Colonies. 21.5" X 25.5" overall, each note is housed in a Mylar holder under the mat for permanent preservation. The mat is archival and the cover glass is UV to protect from light damage. This presentation includes the following notes:  Delaware - 1756 PRINTED BY BEN FRANKLIN in large type, Connecticut - 4 shillings dated 1775, Pennsylvania - 20 shillings dated 1775, New Hampshire - 8 dollars dated 1780, Massachusetts - 3 dollars dated 1780, Rhode Island - 5 dollars dated 1780, New York - 1/8 of a dollar dated 1776, New Jersey - 18 pence dated 1776, North Carolina - 30 shillings dated 1771, South Carolina - one Spanish Milled dollar dated 1776, Maryland - six dollars dated 1774, Georgia - 1/4 of a Spanish Milled Dollar dated 1776, and Virginia - 100 dollars dated 1781. A nice combination of dates, several 1775's and 1776's. Also several 1780's and one 1781 (Battle of Yorktown). All notes grade an average of fine to very fine with the Delaware being a nice very good and South Carolina near uncirculated. The New Hampshire is a usual hole cancelled, but the Massachusetts and Connecticut are most often seen hole cancelled are not cancelled.  A very lovely matched set that displays beautifully with the centerpiece, a colored print of the signing of the Constitution. An excellent buy, if priced separately.........................................................
