Massachusetts 1779 3s6d Choice Very Fine. A clean, handsome Rising Sun note, printed from plates engraved by Paul Revere. In spite of its light use, this note split halfway along its center fold and partway down from the center in an "L" shape. The split was repaired contemporarily by being sewn closed with homespun thread. We've seen this application before on Colonial notes, but invariably on low-grade horror pieces. This is the first time we've seen this technique employed on a wholly presentable note. In fact, even with the sewing, this is one of the nicest Rising Sun notes we've handled in quite some time. 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.
