Massachusetts Currency
Exceedingly Rare Historic September 17, 1776 Paul Revere Engraved Massachusetts "Sword In Hand" Minuteman Note
State of the Massachusetts Bay. September 17, 1776. 14 Shillings. Genuine. Due Date of December 7th, 1781. PCGS graded Extremely Fine-45.
Fr. MA-215. An extraordinary historic note on this elusive, Paul Revere re-engraved Copper-Plate from 1775, now retitled "State of the Massachusetts Bay" September 17, 1776, a wonderful Revolutionary War issue. This rare Massachusetts currency issue is greatly under appreciated and continues to be undervalued by collectors, likely due its significant lack of availability as few examples of this issue have been offered in past decades. No longer stated as a "Colony" we now see "State of the Massachusetts Bay" proudly displayed on its face. Also a significant "Error" note, the back side has the erroneous printed "1775" (not 1776) prior plate date reading, "Septemr. 17, 1775." The Eric Newman Collection contained only one note on this elusive issue, with very few known. Only one 14 Shillings is currently listed on "Track & Price", that being the current (2008) 5th Edition Newman plate note shown on page 211 (Ex: Boyd Collection, Serial No. 3896). Our current note is also known to be a Boyd Collection duplicate. The serial number cited on the PCGS holder is 92, previously offered at auction in October 2006. This note had some minor conservation lifting some unnatural surface grudge so that the face and back have an attractive and natural appearance. This very solid note is well printed, shows excellent details, and is very broad and well margined, providing superior centering, rarely seen on "Sword In Hand" notes. Beneath the final signature of John Murray is a large flourish. Ex: Stack's F.C.C. Boyd Estate/Ford Collection Sale, Part XV, October 4, 2006, lot 8202 where it sold for $6,325 prior to its current expert conservation and improved eye appeal. An important opportunity to acquire this major Paul Revere engraved September 17, 1776 issue rarity, which has no attempt at placing any "market" valuation in Newman. PCGS graded Extremely Fine-45 having no negative comment.
