Sharp June 18, 1776 Five Shillings Massachusetts Note

Colony of Massachusetts Bay. June 18, 1776. Five Shillings. Due Date of June 18, 1778. Choice Crisp Extremely Fine.
This scarce, small size typeset note has four very large margins that provide excellent centering. The paper is very clean and even in its light circulation, all of the print is dark black and sharp. The brown signature of "J Hobart" and serial number add to the eye appeal. The blank reverse is completely clean and free of any distractions. Notes from this issue are quite rare in this high quality. The PMG "Population" report records three examples of this denomination certified by PMG as (1) VF-25 and (2) VF-30.
