MD-119. Maryland. June 28, 1780. $5. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
No. 5475. Signed by N. Harwood and J. Callahan. Guaranty countersigned on back by B. Harwood. Printed by Hall and Sellers, 1780. An exceptionally well-preserved June 28, 1780 $5 note that comes on pristine paper. The printed inks are dark and vividly detailed while the issuing signatures are neatly penned. The back employed the red ink technique used on the last Continental Currency issue of January 1779, using both the strip on the left border and the geometric shape over the emblem. A guarantee from the United States ensuring "Payment of the within Bill…" also appears on the back. This guarantee was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1780, and eight of the thirteen colonies issued notes under this resolution. This is the single finest example of MD-119 to be graded by PMG. An outstanding note. PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
From the Mid-Continent Collection.
