t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 10/07/2007 7:39 pm I blame Scottishmoney for getting me interested in colonial notes. I never looked for them before. Picked this one up today at the NH show, from a guy with tons of notes at his table dba Emporium. Apparently the face plate for this note was engraved by Paul Revere and the faces were also printed by him. The backs were re-used cast cuts from the Codfish issue, printed by Thomas Fleet. I believe the singature is that of George Partridge, who was a Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress in 1779. Report this Post to the Staff
