Description
Massachusetts Currency
Paul Revere Engraved “Sword in Hand” Massachusetts
Colony of Massachusetts Bay. August 18, 1775. Twelve Shillings. Redemption Date of August 18, 1779. Paul Revere Engraved “Sword in Hand” Issue. Apparent restorations. PCGS graded Very Fine-35.
Fr. MA-168. This original, authentic Paul Revere Engraved “Sword In Hand” issue note has the Redemption Due-Date of August 18, 1779. It is printed on the standard crisp paper stock with a small oval vignette of a sailing ship at dock at the lower left of the face. There is some light deft restorations sealing a central edge split at left as noted on it’s holder. This note is a very nice, clean circulated example of this scarce denomination. Two signatures were required on this denomination and this note is signed by Joseph Wheeler and Ebenezer Sayer.

Only 10,000 notes were authorized to be printed, and there were three different due dates of 1778, 1779 and 1780. Therefore only 3,333 notes could have been issued of this rare, genuine type. Eric Newman’s reference, “The Early Paper Money of America” lists a value for this note of $7,500 in Very Fine. Overall, this note is an excellent, solid example for this classic, Paul Revere engraved “Sword in Hand” Revolutionary War type.
