This bill would normally be relatively common but this example was signed by John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This bill was printed on mica flake paper in red and black ink by Isaac Collins in Burlington, NJ. Bold nature print can be seen on the reverse. The front of this note has ornate borders and the coat of arms with paper watermarked “NEW JERSEY”. Interestingly, this note has been contemporarily sewn. It is incredible how well done this contemporary repair is and shows the great lengths colonists went to keep these notes in circulation. Fantastic AU example with a strong Hart signature. An elite addition for any advanced collector.
Signers: Robert Smith, JOHN HART*, John Stevens Jr.
