United States / New York April 2, 1759 Fr. NY-156 PCGS Choice Fine 15 DETAILS 5 Pounds
The Newman reference mentions that 6,000 examples of the New York 5 Pound issue dated April 2, 1759 were printed, but fails to give much more information. While this piece has been severed and reattached, the note is complete and most of the design elements are clear. A difficult issue to locate. PCGS mentions "Edge Splits, Severed and Reattached, Pinholes"
