New Jersey Colonial Note Fr#NJ-186 June 9, 1780 $3 PMG 8 *David Brearley Constitution*
The bills of the June 9, 1780 issue were printed by Hall and Sellers in red and black ink and were redeemable in Spanish milled dollars. These bills were guaranteed by the United States and could also be exchanged for Continental Currency. The paper contains mica flake and is water-marked “UNITED STATES” in 2 lines. The border cuts were engraved by Henry Dawkins, a former British counterfeiter. Additionally, this bill shares the same emblems as January 14, 1779 Continental Currency. This $3 note features an emblem of an eagle and heron fighting. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “EXITUS IN DUBIO EST” (The outcome is in doubt). Last but not least, this bill bears the signature of David Brearley, an American Founding Father and signer of the United States Constitution, adding significant value to this already rare bill. Of the 12,000 originally printed, only 19 are known to exist today. Neat low serial number 40.
Signers: Philemon Dickinson, David Brearley* (Constitution Signer), Joseph Borden (Guarantee Signature)
