This note will make a nice addition to any colonial currency collection. Colonial issues preceded the continental notes by many decades, and some are quite rare. These notes are in demand among collectors and rising in value due to the limited numbers printed by James Parker. This is an excellent example of paper currency printed prior to America's independence from Britain. Interestingly, you can see pieces of blue threads mixed into the paper to deter counterfeiting.
