Vermont 10 Shillings Colonial Note

Vermont February 1781 10s PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.
Vermont only had a single issue of Colonials with all eight different denominations having a printing of 3,600 notes each. All denominations are rare as a committee was appointed to burn the examples that had made their way into the state's coffers. Today, PMG has graded only 26 notes for the entire issue. As we zero in on the 10s denomination, we see that PMG has graded a meager two examples. Our experience is very similar, as we have auctioned only one 10s note previously. It was part of the Eric Newman Collection and he wrote, The Early Paper Money of America. The Newman example graded PCGS Fine 15 Apparent and crossed our auction block in October 2015 with a price realized of $2,937. Our current offering is a pretty mid-grade note. The net grade is for the restoration of adding corners to this piece. This restoration is not surprising as Mr. Newman points out the thin, weak paper of the issue, while the Friedberg reference mentions the extreme brittleness of the paper.
