| Here is a great
example of a Counterfeit Detector Note. These notes were made
available to vendors during colonial times to help them
determine the authenticity of notes passing in commerce. It was
printed on blue paper so it could not be falsely signed,
numbered and then circulated as real currency. |

| Surely one of the
nicest examples of this issue known. There are huge margins on
all sides, bold signatures, exceptional print detail and superb
paper. Due to the closeness of the notes on the original sheets,
this issue is rarely seen in Gem grade. |

| This bright and
attractive note has a bit of history behind it. The May, June
and Aug 1786 Acts allowed the legal tender provisions to be
enforced by the courts using summary judgments rather than by
jury trials. In the subsequent lawsuit of Trevett v. Weeden, it
was ruled that the law was invalid and from that point forward
the common law principle of trial by jury was a fundamental
right of all United States citizens. |

| This thick paper
example with printed date carries the State insignia and two
signatures. Eric Newman writes of this series, "A two letter
control system in the upper left hand corner was introduced and
constitutes the first use in America of series designations in
combination with numbering of paper money. The date was typeset
and inserted into the cast cuts of the engraved text." |
