1778 Massachusetts Codfish Note

MA-265. Massachusetts. October 16, 1778. 4 Shillings, 6 Pence. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.

No. 5762. Signed by R. Cranch. Printed by Revere and Fleet, Boston, October, 1778. The top denomination note authorized by the October 16, 1778 act and one of the very few 66's graded for the entire series of 12 denominations. The Codfish engraving appears at top, with a lovely detail engraving of a pine tree gracing the back. These notes derive much of their appeal and popularity due to their association with Paul Revere who was responsible for printing the faces, while Thomas Fleet printed the backs. Almost certainly the finest-known example. PCGS Banknote Pop 1/None Finer.
