Description

Rhode Island November 6, 1775 40s PMG Fine 12 Net. All three signatures, including the one penned in red ink, remain clearly visible on this scarce note that was the highest denomination for the issue. The signers were John Cole, John Dexter, and Joseph Clarke. John Carter printed only 1500 of these 40 shillings notes and this example is numbered 947. As of this writing, this is the only example that has been graded by PMG. Carter, a native of Philadelphia, apprenticed with Franklin & Hall. He later partnered with printer Sarah Goddard for several years before opening his own printing house. Split repairs were cited by PMG as the reason for the net grade on this example.
