Scarce late issue New Jersey note featuring the New Jersey State seal on the front. There is a sage leaf nature print on the reverse, which is common in other New Jersey issues, but interestingly the stem of the sage leaf is pointing to the right, where in all other issues it points to the left. This note was printed by Isaac Collins in Trenton New Jersey on watermarked paper. Additionally, this bill bears the bold signature of David Brearley, an American Founding Father and signer of the United States Constitution, adding significant value to this already scarce note. Of the 20,000 originally printed, only 8 are known to exist today. Great eye appeal for the grade, well deserving of the Evergreen sticker from GCC.
Signers: Philemon Dickinson, David Brearley* (Constitution Signer)
