- Province of Massachusetts Bay June 20, 1744 2 Pence Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. MA-120. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. This "Tall" Bill type is known in both genuine and counterfeit form. An intricate design is used with a circular cartouche for the text and ornate details at the entablature, which is supported by vine covered columns. At the lower left is the Royal Arms and at the lower right, the Massachusetts Arms. The printed back shows the denomination within an interesting "bracelet" design cartouche. The plate details are a bit weak and the note is clearly a contemporary counterfeit. Noted as: "Center Split Repaired; Small Edge Tears; Paper Toned; Pinholes." The note has considerable eye appeal from the face. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1410.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18084.

- Massachusetts Bay May 1, 1741 3 Pence Bank Bill Fr. MA-87.13. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. This is a very rare private Massachusetts Bank Bill series, and we believe none have been offered for sale since the May 2004 Ford III sale with the primary offering of the Boyd Colonial currency and its exceptional array of early notes. Within the top cartouche is the legal text for the scheme. The notes were to be returned for redemption to "James Eveleth, or order," and Eveleth's countersignature is seen on the back. At the lower left is a tree emblem and the motto JUSTITIA REDIUTIA (Justice Restored). Three signatures are on the face. A very boldly printed, genuine and fully issued example. The Boyd collection contained a plate proof on laid paper of this type, and it is plated in the 5th edition Newman book. This rare representative faces up well and is bright. Noted are "Repaired Splits; Minor Rust Stains and Foreign Substances on Back." This is an important rarity from the Newman collection and a great opportunity for currency and fiscal paper collectors. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5875.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18083. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Massachusetts Isaac Winslow Merchant or Order, Boston Silver Bank August 1, 1740 5 Shillings (5 dwt.) Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. MA-87.2. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. The Silver Bank bills were one of three different "schemes" to take advantage of a void in commerce caused by a lack of new Massachusetts Bills of Credit. The investors saw potential for profit and were not necessarily civic minded. The Silver Bank had 107 members, with Isaac Winslow leading the group. His name is engraved in the obligation and he countersigned the verso of genuine emitted notes. Bills of Credit issued by the colonies were a fact of Colonial life by 1740, as was the financial uncertainty that went along with all paper money. Notes were counterfeited, raised and altered, all in a manner to defraud the public. The Crown looked upon this independent activity of emitting paper money as treasonous and saw Colonial independent aspirations in a different light than had been the case earlier in the century. There were also rival schemes, especially the (Land) Bank Bills that vied for official recognition. The Silver Bank, due to its specie nature, paid off most of its obligations when the Crown enforced the "Bubble Act" on this private Colonial activity. This was in contrast to the Land Bank, whose liberal activities lingered on for many years past their dissolution, and impacted their investors negatively. The schemes helped usher in the 25-year hiatus from note issuing (1750 to 1775). The counterfeit plate is rather crude, and a knowledgeable eye would pick it out. The detailed obligation is in the center cartouche. At the lower left is the charming folk image of a small skiff, with the motto FIAT JUSTITIA (Let there be Justice) below. The top has engraved sculptural details. This type was not in the Boyd collection. Noted by PCGS are "Splits, Tears and Damage; Repairs." We know of only a few examples of this rare and desirable early Massachusetts counterfeit. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2115.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18082. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Province of the Massachusetts Bay October 14, 1713 3 Shillings Redated 1735 Fr. MA-60p. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. The rampant counterfeiting of several note types led to further note series and new plates. This is a complex series of notes with several denomination plates (Low, Middle and High) and multiple face redatings lasting for over 20 years. This note is fully genuine and shows the new dates vertically at the right end of the lower half. The later dates, starting with 1777, are just below the obligation text, which is in a "tombstone" cartouche at the top half of the note. The Royal Arms appears at left in the lower half; the signature block is in the center. Most of the back is printed with intricate, but lightly printed, flourishes. Noted are "Splits, Tears, Minor Damage, and Repairs; Stains," which accurately describe the imperfections. The note is mostly full bodied and is a great rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2467.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18081. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Province of the Massachusetts Bay November 17, 1708 40 Shillings Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. MA-24 PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. This is a rare "Tall" Bill of Credit type and, to our knowledge, the type is not known as a genuine note. The false plate is based on the original 1702 "middle plate" (5s, 10s, 20s, and 40s) designed by John Coney. While we do not have a genuine, unaltered note from 1702 or 1708 for comparison of sharpness and detail, we note that the inking is irregular. The indent squiggle pattern design at the top is cut in a "tombstone" style. Text obligations are across the note with an ornate red "AR" monogram (Anna Regina). The back shows a red squiggle pattern at the top. Among the three false signatures of Elisha Hutchinson, Penn Townshend, and Samuel Chockley the word "Counterfeit" is scrawled. This is one of the earliest North American currency notes known, and significant even as a contemporary counterfeit. It was emitted less than a century after the province was established, and affairs in England and Europe were turbulent. We have seen a few of these in major collections over the years. The Boyd collection contained three examples of this type. Most of the known pieces are in the vicinity of the serial number of this note, 1966; the Newman plate note is serial number 2000. An old pencil code on the back notes an acquisition date of 1906 (perhaps a Chapman pedigree?). The PCGS notations of "Small Edge and Internal Splits; Tape Repair on Back" are relatively minor. An attractive "Tall" Colonial bill and significant early American currency type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3760.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18080.

- State of Maryland May 10, 1781 1 Shilling Fr. MD-127. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. This is a very distinctive series of notes printed by Frederick Green with red face border cuts and deep red Maryland Arms on the back. The notes were payable in specie per the obligation at a rate of 7 Shillings 6 Pence per dollar. The colors and overall style make this series popular with collectors. As the lowest denomination, a greater rarity in the series and worthy of a premium evaluation. The only superior example we have encountered is the Boyd note auctioned in the May 2005 Ford X sale, graded Choice About Uncirculated, for $6,325. This is a bold example; the arms on the back are quite vibrant. The margins for the type are usually slightly inward and wavy as seen here. The Apparent designation is for only: "Small Edge Nick at Left; Edge Tear at Top Right" Trivial considerations since, with strong colors and excellent printing, this is an excellent candidate for any top-flight collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3525.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18079. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
