Pennsylvania Colonial Note Fr#PA-211 April 10, 1777 6d PMG 64 EPQ *Stunning*
The bills of the April 10, 1777 Pennsylvania issue were passed for the purpose of supporting the army. This note was printed by John Dunlap on paper containing mica flake. This Pence note is small in size and printed in black ink. The Penn Arms are present on the front with a ship and farming motifs. “To Counterfeit is DEATH” can be clearly read across the top of the simple but elegant reverse. Exceptional example with bold ink and crisp light paper with a large piece of mica showing on the reverse. Exceptional example, well deserving of the EPQ designation from PMG. This example also has a very neat watermark made up of multiple “PENNSYLVANIA” watermarks, showing in the middle and all 4 corners (see last photo).
Signers: Joseph Parker
