Maryland Colonial Note Fr#MD-59 March 1, 1770 $8 PMG 20 *Exceptionally Bold*
The purpose of the March 1, 1770 Maryland issue was to fund loans. This note is similar to the 1767 Maryland issue, but in 1770 “payment in gold and silver” was added to the text. Printed by Anne Catherine Green and William Green. Secret marks were used in this issue as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Stunning example with strong paper, light paper and incredibly bold ink. It is tough to find notes from this 1770 issue this nice, and the eye appeal of the rich ink exceeds the grade. Wonderful note for the price.
Signers: John Clapham, Robert Couden
