    描述:
    Rhode Island February 14, 1743 6 Pence Redated 1746 Fr. RI-52d. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. This is a magnificent Newman collection "Tall" Bill of Credit from Rhode Island authorized by the General Assembly from South Kingstown. The initial authorization and issue is known as the Eighth Bank. Several times, for various additional authorization purposes, it was renewed. The engraved face plate, which was subsequently redated like this 1746 bill, is one of the most handsomely designed plates in the 1690-1750 New England Bill of Credit issuing period. The obligations are in the cartouche taking up the top two thirds of the note. The sides show column details; the bottom has fancy scrollwork on each side of the Rhode Island anchor motif symbolizing Hope; the top displays fancy engraved details in the corners with Six Pence in the center; and at the bottom left, the Royal Arms are used on Rhode Island notes for the first time on this plate. Very subtly engraved "T.I." for Thomas Johnston concealed below the anchor in the center. The back is simpler with an ornamental square cartouche composed of mixed types such as crowns, urns, plumes and roses. At center is "Six Pence/ equal to/ Two Shillings/ Old Tenor." Interestingly, we note that there is a back date "1747" at the back lower right. A very boldly printed note, from a strong plate state, with three clear signatures and serial No. 3241 at upper right. Broad margins, although the left side margin does dip just slightly in heading towards the bottom. Cited with "Repaired Edge and Internal Splits," but showing considerable paper body, extraordinary for this type of large format Bill of Credit. An extremely rare note. Only one note from the series in the Boyd collection "Tall" notes was sold in Ford Part III in May 2004: the shilling note, lot 573, realized $10,925. This is a stellar early American paper currency rarity with considerable engraved beauty. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $10575.00.

    Rhode Island December 2, 1740 40 Shillings Face Proof Fr. RI-42. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. This second face plate impression from the "large denomination plate" of the issue is also printed on laid paper, and apparently contemporarily like the 20 Shillings offered here and the two Boyd collection notes we cited in the previous description. The overall style and layout are similar to the 20 shillings with intricate details on three sides, texts within the top two-thirds, and Rhode Island arms at lower left. Cherub and eagle details and some other subtle differences are seen. Noted only with "Small Edge Nicks," which consist of minor faults along the top right edge. This is a fascinating impression and historic Colonial Proof. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1292.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18200.

    Rhode Island December 2, 1740 20 Shillings Face Proof Fr. RI-41. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. This and the following 40 shillings notes are fascinating, and perhaps unique, face plate impressions printed contemporarily on laid paper. They both boast impressive details, and most importantly, they complement and diagnostically compare to the two other denominations from the "large denomination plate" used to print those present in the Boyd collection. This is a beautifully detailed face design with intricate details on three sides, texts within the top two-thirds, and Rhode Island arms at lower left. The other "large plate" denominations (5 Shillings and 10 Shillings) from the sheet from which this and the following came may have been the Boyd notes sold in Ford III as lots 565 and 567. However, they would have separated from the Newman notes long ago, as they were paper rim mounted, like many Boyd colonial notes. Noted are "Small Edge Nicks." Visually exciting, and possibly a unique, contemporary proof impression. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2115.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18199.

    Rhode Island August 15, 1737 Redated 1738 2 Pounds Fr. RI-26b. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. This is another rarely seen, pre-1750 issue, and has an unusual horizontal format.

At the lower right is a denomination cartouche with the redate "1738" within. The ornate back has vine details, scroll lines at the left and the denomination in the center. This is a genuine note.

    Rhode Island June 14, 1726 Redated 1733 20 Shillings Fr. RI-21d. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is a large and impressive early Rhode Island Bill of Credit redeemable at Newport. This Newman plate note may be unique as a denomination from the series. This is the only example we have seen, and it might be the only genuine note extant from this redated issue. It was printed from a beautifully engraved set of plates. The face has the detailed obligation at the center within an ornate cartouche. Handsome filigree details are at the top, and the indent design is cut with the "tombstone" effect seen on many early "Tall" Bills of Credit. At the lower left is the Rhode Island Hope motif shield with deftly placed "20S" for preventing denomination raising. To the right of three signatures are consecutive redates of 1728, 1731, and 1733. The back is without text and shows leafy vines intertwined with an eagle and the head of an eagle. A beautiful and full size note with minor faults. Noted with "Repaired Splits and Tears," which are moot points compared to the possibility of uniqueness of this historical early note. A prize Newman plate note from this famous Colonial currency collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $7637.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18197.
