June 14, 1757 New Jersey Fifteen Shillings Note Rarity
New Jersey. June 14, 1757. Fifteen Shillings. Plate A. Conservation. Fine to Very Fine.
Fr. NJ-105. This exceedingly rare June 14, 1757 French and Indian War New Jersey issue is one of only 677 Fifteen Shillings printed. Of those 677 notes, only have bear Plate letter “A” and half “B” such that only about 338 notes were Plate “A” as is this example. All of the notes from this issue were only considered “Legal Tender” until June of 1762 and were to be made invalid after November of 1762. This important note is well centered and nicely printed in deep black upon clean, evenly circulated period heavy fiber paper. The date, text and designs are all very clear, the signatures and serial number have faded. There is a deft sealed centerfold split and overall light conservation. This New Jersey Colonial Currency rarity is missing in most all collections.
