Massachusetts Bay State Treasury Certificate December 1, 1777 Anderson MA-10 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.
This six per cent interest certificate is listed as MA-10 in the William G. Anderson reference, The Price of Liberty. It has a rarity rating of R4, indicating that 76 to 200 pieces are known. This is the single most sought after piece of fiscal paper from the American Revolutionary period due to its elaborate engraving and the vignette of a Continental soldier with a raised swor...d surrounded by a rattlesnake. The entire engraving for this piece was done by Nathaniel Hurd, a contemporary of Paul Revere. In the past, this bond was often attributed to Revere, due in part to the Sword in Hand vignette, which is very similar to Revere's that was used on Massachusetts Colonial notes. This note measures approx. 8 1/4 inches X 9 inches. An awesome piece of early American History.
