The elusive 1760 Delaware issue was the final Delaware issue printed by Benjamin Franklin and is generally much scarcer than the 1758/1759 series. 4,000 Pounds worth of bills were printed and this is the only Delaware note in red and black ink. This issue also featured new nature print varieties. “Printed by B. FRANKLIN” remains bold at the bottom of this note. Great piece of history for the price range and incredibly scarce with only 9 known to exist.
Signers: Evan Rice, David Hall, Vincent Loockerman
