I have recently come across a 5 shilling note dated Jan 1776 printed by
James Adams . It is in very good conditon and was passed in the 15th year of
the reign of his majesty George the third dated the first day of January
1776 ....... I would like to know the value of this note .

thanks
Louie

If it's from the first state of Delaware and has serial number 62101, it's a
worthless reproduction. If not, we need to know more about it; colors, size,
back details (if any).

Post your response over at rec.collecting.paper-money...........

I think there's a problem with the maths here!

The 15th year of his reign would finish on
the 15th anniversary of his accession
i.e. 25 October 1775.

Unless of course it was gathering dust for
at least 10 weeks before being signed?

Also there is a problem with the printer I think, I was always
believed that Charles Jewson was chief cashier from 1775 -1777, but
saying that, I could have misinterpreted, the "printed by James Adams"
to mean chief cashier instead of the printer I.E Thomas de la Rue

So I would edge towards a note issued by a regional bank

As for value, alas I can not help
