Border variety (c). Signed by Habersham and Wade. Different ornaments surround the '3d.' in the square cartouche. A second example, but different border variety. Not usually seen numbered.

Though the technical grade might be lacking for the grade conscious, this boldly printed example with exceptional margins is one of the finest we have seen. Extremely Fine. The vertical fold is a little hard and visible from the back. There are some other folds and handling. However, to reduce this to ''Very Fine'' is unjust to the wonderful...  more 4488 Georgia. 1776. One Shilling EF $750.00 Unnumbered. Border variety (k). Signed by Houstoun and Wade. A second example. Also quite attractive and well printed. Close to Extremely Fine.

Denomination on each side. Signed by Few, Wells and Wade. A beautiful type on the Sterling series with a very handsome vignette.

Two Shillings and Six Pence VF $1,100.00 Unnumbered. Horse. Denomination on each side. Signed by Few, Stirk and Wade. A second example. Natural and untampered with.

For the technical merits, quite lovely. 4493 Georgia. 1776. Five Shillings AU $2,600.00 Unnumbered. Crown. Border variety (s). Signed by Wylly, Habersham and Wade. One of the most amazing notes in this denomination set of 1776 Sterling notes. Like the Horse notes, these are often seen with repairs and pieces out. The condition average is in the Fine or so range with most having some sort of flaw. This note is nearly unimprovable for quality and should be destined for a top notch collection. Choice...  more 4494 Georgia. 1776. Five Shillings VF $1,100.00 No.5879. Crown. Border variety (s). Signed by McGillivray, Gibbons and O'Bryen. A second example.
