Colonial Currency Notes from 1774 to 1780—Rhode Island, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia
Colonial Currency Notes from 1774 to 1780—Rhode Island, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia
Updated October 14: Only three colonial currencies left — Rhode Island, Virginia, and South Carolina
Five colonial currency notes available individually.
These are in very good condition.
Each note is in a 5" x 7" freestanding Lucite frame to protect the currency while allowing you to display it standing or flat. The two pieces of Lucite are held together with magnets, which makes it easy to remove the currency for a closer inspection or to frame in a different manner or to store.
Note that the manufacturer claims UV protection, but I haven't seen any technical report, so recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight.
The currency notes:
- Twenty Dollars Rhode Island - July 2, 1780 — serial number 2070, signed by Thomas Rumreill, Caleb Harris and Jonathan Arnold.
- Two Shillings & Six Pence Virginia note - July 17, 1775 — serial number 24949, signed by Henry King.
- SOLD — Thirty Shillings Pennsylvania note - July 20, 1775
- Ten Shillings South Carolina note - April 1, 1778
- SOLD — Six Dollars Maryland Note - April 10, 1774 — serial number 11475, signed by William Eddis and John Clapham.
- SOLD — Twenty Shillings Pennsylvania note - April 25, 1776 — serial number 17835, signed by William Kenly, William Clifton and Benjamin Betterton.
Only one available of each.
Important note on the care of these frames: Use a microfiber cloth or similar to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not use household cleaners.
Shipping: $10. Please allow one week for shipping.
