 Very nice! I always love looking at colonials. Love the serial number on the 10 shilling.  Did you buy both of these from an online auction site? |

Rainman...each note is worth about $100 more or less...the higher the condition the more valuable...I just want to see detail(VF+) and enjoy the history of each!

Here are pics of the NY Waterworks note...Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were arch rivals in the banking community...the Federalists led by Thomas Jefferson and Al Hamilton controlled the banking in the early colonies, Aaron Burr(Democrat-Republican) tried to get into NY banking and was rebuffed by Hamilton and co., Burr figured out a way into the NY banking scene by financing the NY Waterworks project. Later in their lives, the two dueled to the death(Hamilton's). Now you know why collecting colonial currency is AWESOME~~~~~ Image: colonial1.jpg100.52 KB Although this note is worn(condition Fine), it is the first issue(1774) and a low serial#28. Only about 2500 notes were issued...later there were three more issues(1775-1776). The project involved building a pump to bring fresh water to the 22,000 inhabitants of NYC back in the late 1700's...pipes made out of hollowed logs delivered the water into the urban zones. Signatures: Jacob Sefferts was a patriot and Crugar was a British loyalist It was common for earlier notes to be signed by business leaders and governing officials who had opposing politics. Image: colonial2.jpg95.9 KB PS only paid about $50 for this note Edited by atlashealth

Just won a continental note(VF+) on ebay...but lost it cause the seller claims they already sold it and posted it in error..they offered another rag of a note but I said that was not acceptable. They proceeded to refund my payment to PAYPAL I'm planning on filing a complaint to ebay about this...what do you think? |

It's getting harder to find decent low cost colonial currency now everything's going for $100 and up...maybe I should have kept my big mouth shut about collecting colonials!?  Edited by atlashealth
