1793 New York "Dutch Church of Upper Canajohary" One Penny Private Issued Note PMG graded Very Fine-25
New York, February 4, 1793, Church-Money Note, "Reformed Dutch Church of Upper Canajohary," One Penny, Small Change Private Issue Note, Signed "Jacob Maskell", PMG graded Very Fine-25.
A choice "Reformed Dutch Church of Upper Canajohary" One Penny note, rarely encountered, lacking in most all Colonial Currency paper money collections. Fully Signed "Jacob Maskell," this Church-Money note is boldly printed and attractive. This note appears finer in quality to the (2008) 5th Edition Eric Newman "The Early Paper Money of America" One Penny, shown illustrated on page 308, yet not valued in any grade due to its rarity. "Printed by C.R. and G. Webster, Albany" its design has extensive typeset text with ornamental border designs on both sides. Boldly signed "Jacob Maskell" as Treasurer. Holder notes repaired (no repair is seen by this cataloger), likely the PMG grader was confused with tone seen along the right quarter. We have previously sold a similar note on this issue in our EAHA Auction of November 10, 2007 Lot 767, a Two Pence graded About EF, which sold for $1,062.
