Colony of New York February 16, 1771 1 Pound Fr. NY-163. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. A vibrant and very bold example from the series; very much above average for the issue. The denomination at lower left is in Roman numerals, here "XX" with the shilling symbol; to the left of the Arms is the denomination as "I.L.," with "10s" above the counterfeit warning. The Arms and border cuts by Elisha Gallaudet are clear and crisp, the printing by Hugh Gaine is well accomplished, and the margins are all wide. The signatures of Samuel Verplanck, Theophylact Bache, and A. Lott are all clear. Although "Small Internal Tears" are mentioned by grading, the note has considerable eye appeal. A bright example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
