    Descripción:
    Massachusetts � Single Sheet Broadside of "A TABLE, Of Weights and Value of coined Silver and Gold, and English Half-Pence and Farthings, as established by an Act of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. [Passed October 23, 1784." PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. In impressive condition, this small format Massachusetts broadside announces the enacted equivalents for various foreign coins in circulation in the newly formed United States, prior to the establishment of the United States Mint. Broadsides like this, especially in such choice condition, are rarely encountered. Printed on laid paper, but without imprint. 19.4 cm x 22.9 cm. The typography is similar to some Massachusetts fiscal forms (as listed in the Anderson-Smythe catalog) from the period and appears to be an official state government announcement. The chart lists the various foreign coins in common American use at the time on the left side with their denominations, and sometimes weights, and their pounds-shillings-pence equivalents on the right. The list begins with "an English or French Crown" at the top with various coins underneath. The only copper coins available were English farthings and half-pence with their equivalencies fixed to the local currency. The sheet is untrimmed, as printed, and a bold example. Noted only with some "Small Splits." Embossed lettering is visible to the back and there is a natural deckled edge at the right. A handsome piece and an important period financial document. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20098, realized $3600.

    State of Massachusetts Bay - (Act of January 13, 1780) 6% Treasury Loan Certificate Payable "in then current Money" or "in greater or less Sum" than various Commodities 598 Pounds January 1, 1780 Anderson-Smythe MA-22. PCGS Very Fine 30. This is from a fascinating American Revolutionary loan series commonly referred to as "Commodity Bonds." The devaluation of the paper money nearing the end of the Revolution was significant. Bond buyers and holders wished further guarantees to continue investing in the State and the Revolutionary cause. By fixing and guaranteeing the prices of several commodities, such as corn, beef, sheeps wool, and sole leather, the bonds were attractive to purchasers. They were also necessary to help fulfill the state's quota for soldiers needed in the "Continental Army," referred to at the end of the certificate. The wider size and overall layout are a departure from earlier Massachusetts loans engraved by Nathaniel Hurd. This is a third "Commodity Bond" type, without the imprint at lower right. The size and layout are similar to the previous bonds from the series. Printed on laid paper from an engraved plate by J. M. Furnass. 26.3 cm x 13 cm. The fancy title across is richly embellished above and below, with the serial number to the left and date underneath at right. Intricate border cuts were widest at the left for the indenting at issue. Complex text and obligations are across with blanks, enactments applicable to the authorization, and equivalent amounts of various commodities. An embossed stamp is on the text. No. 732. Issued and signed by Cranch, Dawes, and Henry Gardner (pen cancelled). Issuee Barzillai Nickerson's signature is on the back. Nearly full size, with only a partial cut into the left side indent. Very bold and choice for the type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20097, realized $780.

    Continental Currency September 26, 1778 Uncut Full Sheet of $60-$50-$40-$30/$20-$8-$7-$5 Blue Counterfeit Detector Notes Fr. CC-86DT-CC-83DT/CC-82DT-CC-79DT. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent.

The two additional denominations alter the array from the April 11, 1778, Yorktown type sheet. Noted with "Small Splits and Repairs; Minor Stains." Those faults are confined to wide margins. Very strong printing is seen on both sides. A most pleasing sheet. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20094, realized $4320.
