Historic April 16, 1764 Thirty Shillings New Jersey Note
New Jersey. April 16, 1764. Thirty Shillings. Plate C. “Contemporary Counterfeit.” Choice Very Fine.
Fr. NJ-167CFT. An attractive example of this rare historic French and Indian War period “Contemporary Counterfeit” note on New Jersey. This note type is specifically listed and described in Newman in the “Counterfeits” section for this April 16, 1764 NJ issue. Rare in that it is printed in both red and black, having all vivid brown signatures and serial number present and well defined. The face side is well centered, has both printed colors with a clean appearance. These days, Contemporary Counterfeits are being collected more readily. Their scarcity has made nicer quality examples such as with this example, most popular.
