Lot of (2) MA-281 & MA-285. Massachusetts. May 5, 1780. $4 & $20. PMG About Uncirculated 53 & 55. Pen cancelled pair bearing countersignature of Peter Boyer on verso. Both signed by Loammi Baldwin. He is known as the "Father of American Civil Engineering," and his signature on notes are typically much more desirable to collectors. PMG notes "Small tears, Pen Cancelled" on the $4 note & "Pen Cancelled" on the $20. The different types of cancels that show paper loss (e.g. hole, diamond, wedge, etc.) are by far the most common. Internal slash cancels are better than those. Pen cancelled notes are only bested by truly uncancelled pieces, because both have no loss of paper. An excellent opportunity to own a pair of notes in a scarcer state of preservation.
