Colony of Connecticut. August 27, 1755. Two Shillings/Sixpence. Fr. CT-75. PCGS Very Fine-30 Details – Edge Repairs, Small Edge Tear. A crisp note, though it had split vertically down the middle; it has been expertly repaired with trifling visual disturbance the result. As illustrated.

Description: Printed by Timothy Green, Jr., and his brother, John Green, in New London. 90mm by 69mm. Heavy laid paper. Serial No. 1234. Signed by William Pitkin, John Chester, and perhaps Buckingham, being faded at the final signature. This crisp and attractive note is a treat to behold despite the PCGS qualifiers, with an overall appearance of a finer grade throughout.
