1779 Massachusetts Six Percent Treasury Certificate. The Pine Tree Surrounded by a Rattlesnake vigne
1779 Massachusetts Six Percent Treasury Certificate. The Pine Tree Surrounded by a Rattlesnake vignette is clean and sharp on this R-6 certificate which is listed as MA-19 in Anderson. Because of the engraving style, time period, and Massachusetts location, these bonds were for decades misattributed as the work of Paul Revere. They were in actuality executed by Nathaniel Hurd, a contemporary competitor of Revere's. This one grades Extremely Fine or a bit better, with a split along an ink line that has been repaired with restoration tape from the blank back. A wonderful Colonial display item. Perfect for framing. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
