RI-291. Rhode Island. May 1786. 9 Pence. PCGS Currency Gem New 66 PPQ. No. 7816. Signed by S. Allen and N. Knight. Printed by Southwick and Barber. Four enormous margins, great embossing and beautifully penned signatures highlight this nearly superb example of this Rhode Island issue. Though there are around a dozen examples grading higher than this, it all appears rather academic to us as this note could reside in a 67 PPQ holder without raising anyones eyebrows. <p> From the Mid-Continent Collection.
