June 15, 1780, State of New-York Colonial Currency, Five Spanish Milled Dollars. “Guaranteed by the U.S.” Issue, Fr. NY-210, PMG graded Very Fine-30. Ex: Chapman, Clarke, Boyd, and Ford.
Fr. NY-210. The Only Fr. NY-210 $5 note and Finest Certified by PMG. As illustrated. Thin paper watermarked CONFEDERATION. Low Serial No. 135. Fully Signed in rich brown ink by; Reynerd Mynderse and Evert Bancker; Countersigned on back for the United States by Abraham Yates, Jr. Printed by Hall and Sellers. This note is two-sided, black printed Typeset face with a red and black inking on its verso. Of standard Continental Currency size measuring (94mm x 70mm). Even margins, strong black printing on both sides with colorful eye-catching red on the verso, on clean attractive lightly circulated paper. Not only very rare but most pleasing for the given grade. The appearance goes beyond the given grade to our eyes, and the holder comment previously mounted takes a back seat to the rarity and obvious quality offered here and is an important opportunity for collectors. In addition, the lengthy and storied pedigree of this particular note should capture the numismatic imagination of our potential bidders. The 2008 5th Edition of Newman values this note at $5,000 in VF. Pedigree: Henry Chapman; T. James Clarke; F.C.C. Boyd Estate; Stack's sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XV, October, 2006, Lot 8938.
