RI-270. Rhode Island. May 22, 1777. $1/6. PMG Very Fine 30. No. 460. Signed by Theodore Foster. Printer unknown. After a bevy of 1775 and 1776 issues (seven to be exact), there was a shortage of small change in the colony. Denominations range from $1/36 up to $1/3, with $1/6 equal to 1 shilling. We see scant few of these that display both solid detail and crisp paper that is devoid of any problems. A single VF 35 at PMG precludes this handsome small change note from proclaiming itself as "Top Pop."
