May 5, 1780 Massachusetts Colonial Five Dollars ($5) (Fr. MA-282)

This Revolutionary-era Five shows honest circulation with pleasing, evenly toned paper and crisp, well-inked typeset that remains clear throughout. The manuscript signatures are bold - one in deep brown on the face and a vivid red endorsement on the back - adding great contrast. A neatly executed circular cancellation is present, as typical for the issue, and the margins are full with no apparent repairs. The reverse retains strong detail in the emblem and bordering, with the red right-panel text still quite legible. A solid, problem-free example with balanced eye appeal for the type.
