Lot 30
Rhode Island. July 1780. Uncut double sheet of sixteen notes: $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $7, $8, and $20 Colonial currency. This is one of the most attractive double sheets of Rhode Island paper from the 1780 issue that you will see. The paper is fresh and unfoxed, colors are bright (notes are in red and black), signatures of Comstock and Harris extremely fresh and clear. Oddly the serial numbers are out of sequence, with one sheet numbered 1288 and the other numbered 1263 (all 8 notes in each sheet get the same serial number). Minor fold in the space between the sheets includes two small pinholes also in the fold (neither the folds nor the pinholes affect the notes). Uncirculated 63 or Better.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
