June 8, 1780 "BLACK MONEY" State of Maryland Issue Rare Four Dollars Note - PCGS Certified Very Fine-30
State of Maryland, June 8, 1780 Act, Four Dollars, "Black Money" Issue, Redeemable with 5% Interest, PCGS graded Very Fine-30.
Fr. MD-112. A rarely encountered 1780 Maryland "Black Money" Revolutionary War issued note which derives its namesake from use of a wide black border design on its face side. Within each border is the printed denomination "Four Dollars." All four border designs are clear and both sides are well centered. Its holder states minor restorations, although none are readily visible. Nicely signed in rich brown by Fredrick Green and Thomas Johnson Jr.. Listed in most current (2008) 5th Edition of Eric Newman's "The Early Paper Money of America" valued $3,750 in Very Fine. This current $4 note appears of higher quality than the Newman plate note shown on page 176, illustrated on this issue. An 5% Interest bearing rarity, to help compensate for rampant wartime inflation. A note lacking in most Colonial Maryland currency collections.
