May 1, 1777 Delaware Six Pence PMG Certified Gem Uncirculated-65EPQ & PCGS Certified Gem New-66PPQ
Delaware, May 1, 1777, Six Pence, ("Dual Graded") PMG Gem Uncirculated-65EPQ & PCGS graded Gem New-66PPQ.
Fr. DE-83. A really gorgeous superbly wide margined example of this scarce Six Pence lower denomination Revolutionary War issued Delaware note. It is exceptionally well printed on crisp clean paper. The text and designs are so sharply printed that significant press text embossing remains within the paper, attesting to its originality. Originally certified by PCGS as Gem New-66PPQ, the consignor cut the note from its holder for resubmission to PMG where is was graded Gem Uncirculated-65EPQ. The consignor correctly believed those grades to be too conservative and expected a still higher grade as this note is just as superb as another compared graded "69". This note is currently housed in its PMG holder and also retains the clipped PCGS "66PPQ" grade, showing the same denomination and serial number. (This note from the same sheet as the next lot per its serial number 50745.)
