Massachusetts 1779 Fiscal Paper.These six-percent Treasury Certificates are visually quite similar to the advance-pay-to-officers Certificates. They share the same Pinetree and Rattlesnake vignette, and very similar border cuts. The difference is in their usage, with these certificates used to pay the winners in the state lottery. This particular example is listed in Anderson as MA 15, with a rarity rating of R-4 (76 to 200 survivors.) This has got to be one of the better ones, as it grades fully Extremely Fine with no problems whatever. At a glance, it appears to be uncanceled, but that is simply due to the fading of the red ink that was used to cross out Gardner's signature. The signature remains bold. A beautiful piece of revolutionary-war-period fiscal paper. 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.
