Description
Massachusetts Treasury Loan Certificate, 6% Interest due June 1, 1780 Extremely Fine. This certificate is listed as MA 8 in Anderson's The Price of Liberty. It's an extremely well printed example, bearing the Sword in Hand vignette encircled by a rattlesnake. Clarence Brigham clearly shows in his 1954 book Paul Revere's Engravings that this certificate is the work of Nathaniel Hurd, not Paul Revere, a common misattribution. Anderson rates this piece as a low R7, indicating only 7 to 12 examples are known.
