US Early American Currency Notes ~ Lot of Six (6) Reproduction Colonial Notes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up for auction is a
l
ot of six (6) early American reproduction colonial notes
.
No, not the real thing but copies of the real thing and interesting nevertheless. These were issued in five states (Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia and North Carolina) as well by Congress.
I tried to take pictures of both sides of every bill but with six bills and two pictures of the whole lot, I had to make some sacrifices. Below they are shown in no particular order.
Lot of all six bills, obverse & reverse (Pictures 1 & 2)
.
Connecticut, 10 shillings, 1784, obverse & reverse (Pictures 3 & 4)
.
Ten Spanish dollars
. I wonder how the Spanish felt about this. The United States was nowhere near agreeing on a single currency and so foreign currencies had much value.

New London

New Hampshire, 7 Spanish milled shillings, 1780, obverse only (Picture 5)
.
I wish I had both sides of this bill. On the obverse,
New Hampshire
assures the value of this bill. On the reverse side (now shown), the
United States
does the same. I don’t know the meaning of the hole in the middle of the bill. This bill has a good-sized tear in it. Live free or die.
Rhode Island and Providence Plantation, , 1780, obverse & reverse (Pictures 6 & 7)
.
Three Spanish milled dollars
.
Payment ensured by the United States
.
Virginia, 0, 1781, obverse only (Picture 8)
.
Redeemed in Spanish milled dollare
. The obverse side is blank.
North Carolina, , 1778, obverse & reverse (Pictures 9 & 10)
.
Printed by James Davis 1778
.
The United States, , 1778, obverse & reverse (Pictures 11 & 12)
.
Twenty Spanish milled dollars or the value in gold or silver
. This bill has a tear in it. I’m sorry I couldn’t arrange these bills more logically.
Artificially aged, these have the feel you might expect of currency that is coming up on ¼ of a millennium. There are a couple or maybe a few small tears (Remember, the paper is artificially 250 years old.) and one bill was hole-punched. (I guess they did that a long, long time ago, too.)
If you have any questions, please ask before bidding.
