NY-309 3 Pence February 20, 1790
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55
Harris H17. Found on page 305 in Newman. Problem free and one of the couple nicest we have ever seen. Printed by Hugh Gaine. Engraved signature of D. Phoenix, City Treasurer. Newman cites that these were produced "to satisfy the want of small change." Most are well worn and usually have problems. These were in use for almost ten years until they were recalled on June 1, 1799. A prize piece for either the Colonial paper money collector or early Obsolete note collector. The Newman 3 Pence note was an Apparent VF 20 and sold for just under $200. Exceptional grade and rare at this level.
