Massachusetts Colonial Note Fr#MA-275 1779 5s PMG 10 *Paul Revere Rising Sun*
The notes of the Massachusetts 1779 issue featured an updated face engraved by Paul Revere with a rising sun. This is alluding to our nation rising above Britain. The reverse features the pine tree seen in previous issues. Paul Revere printed the face of this note and the pine tree reverse was printed by Thomas Fleet. Scarce and sought after note printed by an American legend. Neat contemporary sew job, showing the great lengths that American colonists went to keep these sparse notes in circulation. Iconic note, a staple for any colonial collection.
