Description
New York March 5, 1776 (Water Works) 8s PCGS Banknote Superb Gem Unc 67 PPQ.This unusual note, part of the Fourth Water Works Issue, is printed on two different types of paper bonded together. The face, printed in red and black, is sharply printed with excellent margins and legible signatures of Andrew Gautier and Abraham Brasher. The back, printed on dark brown paper has a detailed view of of the proposed steam operated water pump by Christopher Colles. The Revolutionary War stopped the completion of the water system envisioned for the city. This note, were it to receive the same grade from PMG, would be alone in the "top pop" position. This note recently sold for $2,400 in February 2024 and we anticipate that level to be tested or bested tonight.
