Pennsylvania Colonial Note Fr#PA-166 October 1, 1773 5s PCGS 63 *Exceptional*
The bills of the October 1, 1773 issue had the purpose of reviving the Loan Office system. Printed by Hall and Sellers with a beautiful cast cut farm scene on the reverse and printed in red and black ink. There is 1 crown above the state arms denoting the value (5 Shillings per crown). There is redish orange ink that is impressed onto the obverse across the denomination right border. It is likely that a paper mache stencil was used to overlay the red ink. Stunning uncirculated example with crisp paper, high eye appeal, and bold ink. Tough to find this nice in choice uncirculated condition.
Signers: Thomas Leech, William Crispin, James Stephens
