Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. March 10th, 1769. 10 Shillings, Issued banknote from Colonial Pennsylvania, S/N 1787, printed by D. Hall and Sellers. Black text with black borders, with black coat of arms depicted at right. VG condition with small faults, toning and splitting along center fold line. Signed by Stephen Collins, James Penrose, and Luke Morris. Hall and Sellers was a Philadelphia printing company originally established by Benjamin Franklin. In 1743 Franklin hired David Hall (1714-77), a Scottish journeyman printer, and in 1748 made the latter a partner. The firm printed Pennsylvania Gazette, Franklin's newspaper. In 1766 Franklin sold his share in the business to Hall, and later that same year Hall brought in the journeyman printer William Sellers as his new partner, establishing Hall & Sellers. The firm carried government contracts, including printing paper money. (2)
