Massachusetts Bay November 17, 1776 48 Shillings Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. MA-253. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This Revere-designed 48 shillings represents the final and rare \"Independance\" back Sword in Hand notes. Though printed from a false period-made plate and a contemporary counterfeit, it is still very collectible because genuine notes from the date are rarely obtainable. This final issue is interesting, with the back handbill held in the patriot's left hand reading \"Indepen/dance,\" which replaced \"MAGNA CHARTA.\" The misspelled \"recived\" is in the face obligation. Counterfeit diagnostics observed are at the face lower left and right with the base of the \"4\" higher than the base of adjacent \"8.\" Noted with \"Splits, Tears, and Damage; Repairs; Stains; Missing LL Corner.\" Not often offered for sale and pleasing for the grade.
