1779-Dated Revolutionary War, State of Massachusetts Bay Treasury Bond, bearing 6 Percent Interest, “Advance Pay to Officers, Second Moiety” Anderson MA-19, Rare “Unissued” with its full left margin Indent Completely Intact, Choice Crisp Unused.
|
Low Rarity-6 (21 to 30 known) as listed by Anderson, THE PRICE OF LIBERTY, as MA-19. This impressive looking original Certificate has serial number 394, no denomination or no date, as a rare unissued example of this Treasury Note. This Bond is printed on high quality, fine-laid period paper, measures 5.75” x 10.5” and is very boldly printed with significant traces of original press text embossing within the paper. One small ink burn hole in the serial number written within the left side indent border design, which would typically be cut off and not present.
These certificates are some of the most sought-after pieces of fiscal paper from the American Revolutionary War period, due to the elaborate engravings used in their design, being after Paul Revere’s comprising the Pine Tree within the circled “Rattlesnake” vignette. This form is Signed “H(enry) Gardner” as Treasurer on the bottom right, and by “J. Mascarens” and “Stephen Minot” as Committee members, in crisp dark brown ink at left. Gardner’s signature is written over with two horizontal lines being a manuscript cancel. This example is in wonderful condition, having bold and impressive engravings. A very exciting choice example considering it is complete with its full left side ornate typeset in Script “MASSACHUSETTS” border design with full margin intact. |
