NJ-198. New Jersey. January 9, 1781. 3 Shillings, 9 Pence. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58.No. 7561. Signed by Robert Neil and Benjamin Smith. Printed on paper watermarked NEW JERSEY. This odd-denomination note is exactly half the amount of the highest denomination, seven shillings 6 pence. Although a little jagged in a couple of spots, the margins on this note are superior to those seen on most 1781 New Jerseys. It has been seven years of bad luck since we have had a chance to offer this denomination, a tightly margined AU that sold for over $1,000. Now good luck will prevail, at least for one lucky bidder.
