Item Details
Description
Pennsylvania Currency
Scarce April 3, 1772 Forty Shillings Pennsylvania Note
Pennsylvania. April 3, 1772. Forty Shillings / 2 Pounds. Plate A. Red & Black Print. PCGS graded Very Fine-25.
Fr. PA-158. The scarcest denomination of the April 3, 1772 issue. Only 5,000 notes were printed, while the other eight denominations each had a printing of 33,962 notes. The 40 shillings is also the only denomination of the issue that was printed in both red and black ink. "J. Smither, Sculp" is included in the top border design. Apparent repaired edge splits noted on its holder are well hidden at the sides of the center fold. The signatures of Coombe, Pleasants, and Clifford remain bold brown on this well-printed example. The Benjamin Franklin invented anti-counterfeiting device known as a “Nature Print” is printed on the back. This highest denomination is valued in the 5th Edition of Newman at $1,500 in EF, which is a multiple of added value as compared to the others, for its significant rarity.
