1. 6s

Description:: Province of New Hampshire April 3, 1742 Redated 1743 6 Shillings Fr. NH-62. PCGS Good 06 Apparent. All "Tall" Bills of Credit from New England are very rare to extremely rare. That is especially true for New Hampshire and, traditionally, these have been very well collected. This is a lesser denomination, uniface note from the series. It was printed from a well-crafted copper plate. Detailed texts are in the top center; at lower right, the Royal Arms. In the center is a pine tree emblem with the "1743" redate deftly placed within the vignette's cartouche. Technically a low-grade note, but it is mostly complete with the exception of few small missing chips. Noted with "Splits and Repairs; Damage and Pieces Missing; Stained." A rare note in any grade, and very collectible. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1527.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18111.
