Scottishmoney Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 One Dollar note, as with all others signed by Loammi Baldwin, a commander in the Continental Army and developer and promoter of the Baldwin apple. Two Dollar note. Three Dollar note. Four Dollar note. The one that started it all, I bought this in Waldorf, MD when I was a teenager, a lucky find - it is not cut out cancelled and worth 2x as much because of it.

Scottishmoney Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Bay State didn't need a $6 bill but they did want a $7. And an $8 bill. But the big spenders in the colony impressed the ladies with their $20 bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 A very impressive collection of banknotes, the $5 being my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Those are some very nice banknotes - I've always wanted to get some, but the prices keep going up and up.... all the more reasons to get some, yet I keep putting it off.

YeOldeCollector Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Very nice notes but why the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 They were cancelled on redemption. Most of the Colonial US notes were eventually paid out, sometimes up to 30 years later, and usually for about a cent on the dollar, and at that for new long term bonds. Around 99% of the Massachusetts notes from the 1780 Federal Guaranty were redeemed and paid. They either had the hole punched through, or a triangular piece cut out near the signatures to cancel them. The $5 bill is unusual, and a neat find at an antique mall near Washington DC when I was a teenager. This is an old thread, kind of forgot about it. I have quite a few others from other states etc. that sometime in the future I should sell, I have not collected them in a long time.

Art1.2 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Looks like we've lost Scottishmoney's storage site, at least for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
