描述:

Province of New Hampshire January 1, 1763 6 Pence Fr. NH-123. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. One of the greatest rarities from the entire two-century span of New Hampshire currency issues from Colonial times to the end of small-size national currency. We believe this is unique and one of only five New Hampshire Colonial notes from the 1760s. Fully issued with three signatures. It is the Newman plate note illustrated on page 239 of the fifth edition of The Early Paper Money of America as well as in the color plates on page 48. Compact in size, similar to Connecticut notes from the period, and uniface. Ornamental bordering is around the perimeter with obligations in the center. Note the harps, roses, and crown in the top border. The small cartouche at center left has the motto PAX BELLO POTIOR (Peace is preferable to war). The French and Indian War had not yet concluded, and notes such as these were used to help fund military operations and pay the troops. Signed by Clement March, Daniel Warner, and C. Gilman; countersigned on the blank back with the "1763" date (inverted). Bold, crisp and, broadly margined. Noted with "Center Split Repaired," on the crease across the center, seen only from the back. That fact should not be a deterrent since the note appears to be the sole survivor from the entire issue. This is another treasure from the Newman Colonial currency collection offered at auction for the first time. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society

From Newman VIII (Heritage Auctions, 11/2017), lot 28053, realized $33600. Image and description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, https://ha.com.

描述:: Province of New Hampshire January 1, 1761 6 Pence Remainder Fr. NH-107. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This January 1, 1761 six pence remainder is exceedingly rare and probably unique. It is the only note from the series we are aware of, the issue missing from even the Boyd combined collections. It is the Newman plate note in the 5th edition. This small format note printed on laid paper has ornamental patterns at the sides and top. At center is the obligation specifying payment in 2.5% interest bearing Bills of Exchange. The motto in the small cartouche is PAX BELLO POTIOR (Peace is preferable to war). This unnumbered and unsigned note faces up well considering the splits with back tape repairs noted as "Splits, Tears and Minor Damage; Tape Repairs." This debut offering at public auction presents a unique opportunity for serious New Hampshire specialists. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4700.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18112. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
