Current Money of Virginia. Act of Assembly Passed May 24, MDCCLXII (1762). Two Pounds or “Shills Forty.” Fr. VA-53. PCGS Very Fine-25 Details. Repairs, Missing Corners. As illustrated.

Description: Sturdy but thin laid paper. Serial No. 1174. “Signed” by Peyton Randolph and Ro. C. Nicholas. Printer uncertain. Uniface. 79mm by 63mm. “Possibly a Contemporary Counterfeit of the issue, but not cataloged as such by Mr. Ford,” wrote the Ford cataloger. That writer summarized by saying this may only be a late plate state. Attractive paper, moderately lively inking, strong signatures and serial number. Back with several period inked endorsements. Underbidders on this note take heart -- another example of the issue follows in the very next lot.

Pedigree: From Stack’s sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part VIII, January, 2005, Lot 1662. (Ford Price Realized: $862.50)
FR#: VA-53
