Colony of Connecticut. March 8, 1764. Twenty Shillings. Fr. CT-156. PCGS Choice Uncirculated-63 PPQ.

Description: Printed by Timothy Green, a second cousin of the Timothy Green listed for prior notes; that earlier Green passed on in 1763. 90mm by 71mm. Laid paper. Serial No. 3663. Signed by John Chester, George Wyllys, and William Pitkin. A lovely Crisp, New note that readily lives up to the PCGS PPQ qualifier. Indeed, it exemplifies the Premium Paper Quality notation. Bold and deep inking, even margins, and a crispness that defines the grade all make for one of the highlights of the early Connecticut issues in the present offering.
