SWORD IN HAND

$19,500.00

This is arguably the most desirable colonial note and the nicest Sword-in-Hand we have handled in the last 20! What makes this example so incredibly nice is the dark print of the revolutionary soldier on the reverse. Keep in mind, most Sword-in-Hand notes are “rough” and exhibit signs of heavy circulation. This note is the exception and has qualities that make it appear much younger than its actual age.  Keep in mind, this note is nearly 250 years old!  The fact that this note still exists is one thing but in this condition is a small miracle in-and-of itself.  And the best part is…this note represents tremendous value.  This example represents the only example certified by PMG and unlike most other Sword in Hand notes – this example has no negative comments. With only two examples known for this Friedberg number with this example arguably being the finer of the two, one would think that a semi-unique note inspired and engraved by Paul Revere would be close to the six-figure range?  Today, this note can be had for a fraction of its true value and has the potential for a tremendous upswing in the near future. Do not delay, for I do not expect to keep this note for long.  #94 in the “100 Greatest American Currency Notes”
