New Jersey March 25, 1776 3 Pounds Fr. NJ-182. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. Blue and red face color 3 pound and 6-pound notes were printed for the March 25, 1776, series by Isaac Collins. The Royal coat of arms, sun vignette, and interior bordering in red are enclosed within intricate blue borders. The text is blue. Due to the use of two types of printing set-ups, there are two plate variants created by the orientation of the adjacent 6-pound notes printed on the same four-subject plate. This \"first set-up plate\" example shows the blue bordering from part of the 6-pound note underneath it. This plate set-up left no room for a clear margin for the 3 pound note. These red and black high denominations from the issue are underrated compared to the more plentiful low denominations. A beautiful example exhibiting faint handling only. The vibrant color contrast is bold and the note has a Gem appearance. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
