Delaware Colonial Note Fr#DE-85 May 1, 1777 1s PCGS 66 PPQ *Stunning*
This 1777 Delaware bill features the new State Arms and elaborate boarders engraved and printed by James Adams. The reverse features a large sheaf of wheat with “To Counterfeit is Death” beneath. Flawless example with large margins graded GEM 66 by PCGS. Bold and elaborate boarders and crisp paper, well deserving of the premium paper quality designation. Incredibly difficult to find any colonial note in this tier of quality and grade with this 1 Shilling note being particularly scarce. Of the 9,800 originally printed, only 24 are known to exist.
