Gem Two-Color March 25, 1776 3 Pounds Note

New Jersey March 25, 1776 3 Pounds Fr. NJ-182 PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
This colorful type has always been popular, and it is difficult to find in high grades. Blue and red face color three pound- and six pound- notes were printed for the March 25, 1776, series by Isaac Collins. The Royal coat of arms, sun vignette, and interior bordering in red are enclosed within intricate blue borders. The text is blue. Due to the use of two types of printing set-ups, there are two plate variants created by the orientation of the adjacent six-pound notes printed on the same four-subject plate. Because the "first set-up plate" left no room for a clear margin between the three and six pound denominations, borders from the six pounds were seen on the three pounds positioned above on the plate. However, the "second set-up plate" examples, such as this, have sufficient margins, and do not show the geometric bordering of the adjacent denomination. The imprint on the beautiful nature print back, complete with a line of detailed bees, is ISAAC COLLINS. These red and black high denominations from the issue are underrated compared to the more plentiful low denominations. A gorgeous note with vibrant colors, perfect face-to-back registration, and deep embossing. Lot 94238 .
