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 Isaac Collins. This is a nice example of paper currency printed just prior to America's independence from Britain. Interestingly, you can see pieces of mica and blue threads mixed into the paper to deter counterfeiting.
