Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. October 14, 1713 with Final Date 1740. Five Shillings. Fr. MA-61r. PCGS Very Good-10 Details. Multiple Repairs, Reassembled. As illustrated.

Description: Thin laid paper with watermark. Serial No. 1811. Signed by John Quincy and A. Winthrop. 103mm by 135mm. Uniface. A dark coppery looking note with bold inking, though the signatures are somewhat blurry. The paper appears brittle, also noted by the Ford cataloger, but the professional enhancement has given new life to this well-used note. A very rare note in any condition; even this lower-grade specimen will turn heads and raise pulses at bidding time.

Pedigree: From Stack’s sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, May, 2004, Lot 509. (Ford Price Realized: $2,530)
