Description Colony of Connecticut October 10, 1771 20 Shillings Fr. CT-167. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. An attractive and uncancelled note from this scarcer series date. Very deep, darkly inked printing is seen on both sides. The Timothy Green-engraved plate details are amply displayed, making this example quite striking. Three strong signatures enhance a beautiful type note representing this difficult-to-find issue. The noted faults, "Edge Splits; Hinge Repairs; Minor Mounting Remnants on Back," do not impact the overall eye appeal. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2017). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $152.75.
