Delaware Colonial Note Fr#DE-60 May 1, 1758 20s PMG 8 *Printed by Ben Franklin*
This early 1758 bill was printed by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall. “Printed by B. FRANKLIN” can be clearly seen along the right side of the reverse next to assorted nature print. Additionally, there is a lion at the top of the reverse. This 1758 issue is harder to find than the more common 1759 issue. Although this example is lower grade with some problems is remains very legible, particularly Franklin’s name.
