MD-49. Maryland. March 1, 1770. $1/9. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. No.17472. Signed by Robert Couden and John Clapham. Engraved border cuts by Thomas Sparrow. Back imprint of Anne Catherine and William Green. Seen with a wide and nearly complete left indent. Well margined on all sides with great printing quality and bold signatures. This $1/9 note is the lowest denomination from the series and arguably the scarcest. It is certainly rarer by several orders of magnitude compared to the whole denomination notes from this issue. There is only a single Uncirculated March 1, 1770 Maryland note in the PMG Population Report for any denomination and this is it. Unlike the 1774 issued notes, or even the earlier 1767 issue, these 1770 notes simply did not survive intact at such lofty Uncirculated grade levels. This evenings offering is a real prize for the astute collector who recognizes true value at the intersection of rarity and condition.
