MA. A Large Assortment of Massachusetts Contemporary Counterfeit, Altered, or Spurious Notes. Most are condition challenged, with stains, pin holes, pieces out, heavy "COUNTERFEIT" stamps, and/or other problems. Keep in mind that when many of these notes were placed into circulation they were made to look as if they were worn, and well circulated so they would easily pass for genuine notes. 1) Andover Bank. $3. 1861.
