(Hartford?), CT- Hartford & New Haven Turnpike 25¢-12¢ 5 Mills- 6¢ 3 Mills- 4¢ ND (ca. 1799) Block of Four. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 Net. This block of four Hartford & New Haven Turnpike notes has one each of the 25¢, 12¢ 5 Mills, 6¢ 3 Mills, and 4¢ notes. It also has the top portion of the 2¢ and 5 Mills note. The Hartford & New Haven Turnpike has become Route 91, and these notes, with their unusual use of mills, were employed as toll tickets on that road. The vignettes on the notes were keyed to the conveyances permitted on the turnpike for varying fees. The 25¢, with its elaborate two-horse carriage, and the 6¢ 3 Mills, with its one-horse open sleigh, are both particularly popular. This attractive block was net graded due to paper toning.
