1779 Cut Sheet of Restrike Paul Revere "Rising Sun" Notes
1779 Restrike Partial Cut Sheet of Ten Proof Impression, Paul Revere Engraved "Rising Sun" Notes, Unsigned, Printed on wove Cardstock paper, Crisp Uncirculated.
The only example we have seen of this nearly complete denomination set of cut from two partial Face Sheets of 1779 "Rising Sun" notes that were restruck off the original Copper-Plates engraved by Paul Revere. Not seen previously in this form as Proof impressions on light cardstock, all made directly off an existing original Paul Revere Engraved "Rising Sun" face Plates (currently residing in the Massachusetts State House archives). These impressions on a later wove cardstock stock. They are very different and do not appear to be connected to the typical "Cohen I. Mendez" types. These Ten notes include: 1s, 1s6d, 2s, 2s6d, 3s, 4s, 4s6d, 5s, 5s4d and 5s6d. All are Crisp Uncirculated, some with large sheet margins present. Not signed. Provenance Ex: Stack's John Ford/Boyd Sale, Part 10, lot 4729 with lot tag. (10 notes).
