Lovely Paul Revere Produced Sword-in-Hand Note
Massachusetts December 7, 1775 42s Very Fine-Extremely Fine. A lovely Sword-in-Hand note and one of the few genuine 42s examples that we have ever seen, as most of the survivors are counterfeit. It is a difficult note to grade as it is substantially Extremely Fine, but the bottom half-inch is weaker with some splits and a little paper loss at the lower-left corner. All the design on both sides is clean and perfect, and the all important vignette with the Revolutionary soldier with a raised sword on the back is beautifully printed and as sharp as we've ever seen. The plates for this note were engraved by Paul Revere, and the printing for both sides was done in his shop. A truly great piece of Americana, to be enjoyed not just by the Colonial Currency collector but also by anyone who appreciates the early history of our country.Auction Info
