    Hey everyone! :)

    I rarely poke around in this section, but wanted to share a recent pick up of mine. It's a 1776 3 Shilling New Jersey Colonial note. I've been wanting one of these like this for about two years now and finally got my hands on one. :D

    Tell me what ya'll think!

    Very cool, apparently there were at least 27,222 of these. :)

    I too like that line. :) All of these Colonial's are just fascinating to have and must have a lot of history behind them.

    Hi Ryan, I am impressed with your photos and interested in the 1776 New Jersey 3 shilling. Name your price? Wayne

    Pretty cool - especially to a guy born and raised in Jersey. What is something like this worth? Curious ...

    Oh looky what suddenly became popular. :D

    This piece is not for sale, sorry guys. I got it for $140 I think and am keeping it. Such an awesome piece of history that lies in my collection. This is what spices the whole thing up :)

    nice!
    Isaac Collins was an ancestor of mine, so I keep an eye out for his items.
    I bought a similar note a few years ago for 90$ but it's in poor condition.
    Did you notice a watermark?

    Wait! There's MORE!

    I looked at the serial on mine and it's 45360! So there must be a LOT more of them out there. Or at least there was...

    Mine is signed by Rob Smith, John West?, and J Stevens Junior, as far as I can determine.

    Nice note! I think you paid a fair price for the note in such a condition, so congrats on the new acquisition!

    I'm thinking about getting one. How do you tell if one is a counterfeit/reproduction?
