Description
Remarkable Condition 1781 Vermont Ten Shillings
Vermont February 1781 10s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35.All Vermont notes are very rare, and most known examples are extremely low grade, many having been pieced together from fragments of several different notes. This note is missing its upper-right corner and has two small pieces of tape on the back. But the note itself is fully original, with no added paper, enhanced design elements, or fragments from other notes. Even with the corner damage, this is one of the nicer Vermont notes that we have seen. Vermont notes were printed on thin, weak paper that quickly disintegrated in circulation. Their scarcity is due to the fact that only a single issue was emitted, and that issue, authorized in February of 1781, had its legal-tender status revoked after a little more than a year in circulation. The scarcity was further added to by the fact that these retained their validity for tax payments, but the Treasury was denied the right to reissue the bills, and they were burnt when received as taxes. This piece is graded PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35. PCGS mentioned edge damage, splits and repairs in addition to the missing upper right corner. A very rare note. When we last sold this piece in January of 2012 it realized over $8600.
