"Relief and Employment of the Poor in the City of Philadelphia" March 10, 1769 Note PMG Very Fine-25

Province of Pennsylvania. March 10, 1769. Two Shillings. Plate A. "Employment of the Poor in the City of Philadelphia" Issue. PMG graded Very Fine-25.
This early, historic Pennsylvania note is far above average for this special 1769 issue, which was specifically stated to be for, "Relief and Employment of the Poor in the City of Philadelphia". This note has a clean overall appearance. It is well printed and has fully readable clear text with three full brown ink signatures and serial number. There is an old fine centerfold reinforcement on the blank reverse, so noted as split & corner repairs on the holder. Otherwise, this note remains perfectly clean and free of any detractions with the eye appeal of an EF and then net graded. Typically, notes of this issue are located very heavily circulated, this example being far superior. This note is the Second Finest Certified by PMG with only a single CU-64 being finer.
