Ship. Signed by Wood and Wade. This very low denomination obviously received hard circulation. A high grade note would be an achievement and this lower grade note in the Ford-Boyd Collection may attest to the true rarity of the denomination in high grades. Newman assigns it a $100.00 premium over the other low denominations on this Act. Fine or nearly so. However, some splits...  more 4565 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Fifth of a Dollar or One Shilling VF $750.00 No.56. Fenced House. Signed by Wood and O'Bryen. Another low denomination, hard to come by in higher grade. Probably better than Very Fine, but backed to a translucent sheet. Well printed and excellent margins. Boyd's code in pencil, 'iyx', on the back. 4566 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Quarter of a Dollar or One Shilling and Three Pence EF $700.00 No.59. Border variety (c). Signed by Wood and Wade. Nearly Extremely Fine. Bright, crisp and choice for the note. However, there is a chip off the top edge with a small backing strip. That small chip removes this note from what might have been aCondition Census example for the type. Still, desirable and appealing. 4567 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Third of a Dollar or One Shilling and Eight Pence CH EF to AU $1,000.00 No.73. Border variety (d). Signed by Langworthy and O'Bryen. A fabulous lower denomination note on the series and type. These took hard use and usually are seen with all sorts of damage. Choice Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated. Very light folds and no paper breaks at all. The margins are exceptionaly broad and even for any colonial note. Raymond pencil code on the back. Catalogues...  more 4568 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Two Fifths of a Dollar or Two Shillings VF $700.00 No.121. Border variety (a). Signed by Wylly and Wade. Very Fine and problem-free. Many will consider this finer and we won't argue strenuously. Paper body is strong, but there is some light surface soiling. A small central pinhole. The margins are complete, but close in a few places. Raymond pencil code at the back upper left corner. 4569 Georgia. June 8, 1777 CH AU $2,400.00 Two Fifths of a Dollar or Two Shillings-One Half of a Dollar or Two Shillings and Six Pence. A vertical Uncut Pair. Both No.81. Border varieties (a--e). Each signed by Langworthy and Wade. An excellent multiple with full width margining at the top and right ends. As a pair, Extremely Fine. Hard horizontal fold that missed the gutter and is a quarter inch into the top note. The top note has a body hole in...  more 4570 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Two Thirds of a Dollar or Three Shillings and Four Pence VF $500.00 No.23. Signed by Wylly and Wade. The Crown and Circle watermark visible at the upper left. Very Fine and splendid. Much folding, but no breaks and the margins are nearly all clear except at the top left. A petty edge stain at the top. A few very ignorable pinholes at the lower left. 4571 Georgia. June 8, 1777 EF $950.00 Three Quarters of a Dollar or Three Shillings and Nine Pence. No.67. Border variety (b). Signed by Wood and Wade. Nearly Extremely Fine. A crisp note that has great paper body but some surface and back soiling. The bottom border is close, but the other margins are ample. Very attractive. Boyd pencil notation on the back. 4572 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Four Fifths of a Dollar or Four Shillings CH EF to AU $1,200.00 No.11. Border variety (d). Signed by Wood, Langworthy and Wade. The simpler designs of these small notes have made them less popular than the seals. However, this note is exceptional for the series and type. A boldly printed Choice Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated, many will lean towards the latter and for evaluation purposes this is proper. The brightest paper imaginable for this series...  more 4573 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Four Fifths of a Dollar or Four Shillings AB EF $900.00 No.11. Border variety (c). Signed by Wood, Langworthy and Wade. A second note, but a different border variety. This is most likely a sheet mate to the last (though an identical serial number is no guarantee as it is not unknown for hand numbered sheets to be double or even triple numbered in error). About Extremely Fine. Vertical crease, top fold and handling. The look of ''New'', bright...  more 4574 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Dollar in Continental Currency CH EF to AU $2,800.00 No.30. Red seal. Justice. SUSTINE RECTUM. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wylly, Wood and O'Bryen. Another Georgia ''peach'' of a note with a very wide and untrimmed left side sheet margin. Choice Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated is conservative. A vertical fold and two other light folds are negated by superb paper body. The seal and text color are vivid. Though the seal...  more 4575 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Dollar in Continental Currency EF $3,750.00 No.79. Red seal. Justice. SUSTINE RECTUM. The 'in' of the text in red. Border variety (f). Signed by Wylly, Wood and Wade. Another gorgeous note with blazing orange-red color seal, a little different shade than the previous note. Extremely Fine or better. The appearance is of ''Choice Uncirculated'' at first glance. The margins are generally complete with a little closeness at the bottom left....  more 4576 Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Dollar in Continental Currency VF $900.00 No.77. Red seal. Justice. SUSTINE RECTUM. The 'in' of the text in red. Border variety (g). Signed by Wylly, Wood and Wade. A second example, but a different border variety. Very Fine or better. A little foxed, but still very crisp and with excellent color in the text and seal. Slightly trimmed in along the bottom. Not repaired and well above average for the type that is seriously undervalued...  more 4577 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Two Dollars in Continental Currency EF $5,500.00 No.23. Orange-red seal. Ship. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. A note that just draws the viewer in as the seal is incredible. Technically, Extremely Fine or better. However, to figure a bid with a chance some visionary thinking is required, as this note looks like a brand new note. The top margin is bowed in slightly with a little jag at the...  more 4578 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Two Dollars in Continental Currency EF $4,400.00 No.105. Orange-red seal. Ship. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. The watermark is visible at the right center of the note. Extremely Fine or better. There are few light folds, seen from the back only. The seal nearly a ''blazing sun-line'' orange and with excellent details. Trimmed from the period with a little jag in the lower right edge...  more 4579 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Three Dollars in Continental Currency CH EF to AU $13,000.00 No.1. Orange-red seal. Frontiersman. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. This is a note that defies the imagination and may have been saved by an important government official or may have been a presentation piece. At first glance, it is hard to believe that such a note could pass the test of the sands of time and not only pass, but get three graduate degrees. The note exudes...  more 4580 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Three Dollars in Continental Currency CH EF $4,200.00 No.19. Orange-red seal. Frontiersman. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. Visible watermark at the upper right. Another bright and vivid low number note from the Ford-Boyd Collection. Choice Extremely Fine. Two folds, the vertical center fold is slightly hard and there is some edge handling. The frontiersman seal is boldly executed and detailed...  more 4581 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Three Dollars in Continental Currency EF $2,200.00 No.45. Orange-red seal. Frontiersman. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. Watermark visible at the upper right. A second example with red ''in'' on the fourth line. Nearly Extremely Fine, bold color seal. The vertical fold is hard enough to permit a split at the top center. The bottom margins trimmed in slightly, mostly at the right. A small...  more 4582 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Four Dollars in Continental Currency VF to EF $2,200.00 No.26. Orange-red seal. Stag. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. A bold and bright note, but a quarter inch tear with an open void at the upper right. Other than that, Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Strong paper body with extra wide and complete sheet margin at the left. Boyd's pencil code on the back and ''FCCB''. Despite the tear, a lovely...  more 4583 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Four Dollars in Continental Currency EF $3,400.00 No.98. Orange-red seal. Stag. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wylly, Langworthy, Wood, Wade and O'Bryen. Extremely Fine. Bold color seal and bright paper. Light folds. The margins are close or slightly in at a few places. Though the trimming is below average for the notes in this collection, overall for other notes of the series we have seen offered in the past two decades, this...  more 4584 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Five Dollars in Continental Currency EF to AU $3,000.00 No.1. Blue seal. Rattlesnake. NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wood, Wylly, Langworthy, Wade and O'Bryen. Again, just amazing, as this is serial number 1 and from the top right hand of the sheet. Wide margins at the top and right. Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated, and a note that should probably be considered the latter. The beginnings of a bottom center...  more 4585 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Five Dollars in Continental Currency VF $3,000.00 No.114. Blue seal. Rattlesnake. NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen. A splendid note for type. Very Fine or better. Quarter folded, but with much paper body left and enough brightness to have the appearance of higher grade. The seal is sharp blue, well printed with even inking and a very well detailed snake all the...  more 4586 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Six Dollars in Continental Currency AU $2,000.00 No.2. Blue seal. Millstone on Palm Tree. OPPRESSA SURGIT. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wood, Wylly, Langworthy, Wade and O'Bryen. The seal color is missing or virtually so, though the die is impressed and it is the proper vignette. Quite interesting. Another incredible low number note. About Uncirculated. Wide right sheet margin with natural deckled edge. The other margins...  more 4587 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Six Dollars in Continental Currency AU $3,600.00 No.3. Blue seal. Millstone on Palm Tree. OPPRESSA SURGIT. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wood, Wylly, Langworthy, Wade and O'Bryen. A second example, consecutive to the last. A serial number 3 note and again, amazing. Collectors of this series will remember these notes for decades. The seal is also very weak, but shows some blue inking. These may be the earliest impressions of the...  more 4588 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Six Dollars in Continental Currency CH AU $5,500.00 No.63. Blue seal. Millstone on Palm Tree. OPPRESSA SURGIT. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen. To the touch, the paper crispness is in exactly the same state it was 228 years ago when printed at the impounded Johnston printing shop. Choice About Uncirculated and superbly impressed. There is a vertical ''bend'' that has not creased and some handling....  more 4589 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Seven Dollars in Continental Currency EF $1,600.00 No.2. Blue seal. Liberty Cap. LIBERTAS CARIOR AURO. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wood, Wylly, Langworthy, Wade and O'Bryen. At this point, we have lost count of the extremely low numbers from this group. It is one thing for a collection to have high grade types within a series. It is another when many of the notes are perhaps presentation pieces kept by the note signers themselves...  more 4590 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Seven Dollars in Continental Currency EF to AU $3,600.00 No.79. Blue seal. Liberty Cap. LIBERTAS CARIOR AURO. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen.

Eight Dollars in Continental Currency VF $2,800.00 No.39. ''Blue seal''. Thirteen Links. C CONGRESS. The 'in' of the text in black. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen. A great seal type that ties nicely to the Fugio themed Continental notes of the February 17, 1776 Resolution. The seal color authorized is blue, but this seal is closer to a toned rust orange. The printer may have used the lower denominations' ink color...  more 4592 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Eight Dollars in Continental Currency CH AU $5,750.00 No.64. ''Blue seal''. Thirteen Links. C CONGRESS. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen. A second example, also with an off color seal that is toned rust-orange. A low serial number like the last, this might be nearly the end of the run for what appears to be a true seal color anomaly. Lovely condition, and clearly among the finest known. Crisp, bright...  more 4593 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Eight Dollars in Continental Currency CH AU $9,500.00 No.96. Blue seal. Thirteen Links. C CONGRESS. The 'in' of the text in red. Signed by Wood, Langworthy, Wylly, Wade, and O'Bryen. A third example of the thirteen links seal type in the authorized blue color and what an awesome example it is.

It should be evaluated as such, though the ''grading police'' force us to confine it to the nomenclature of Choice...  more Page 1 of 1  •  First  Previous  Next  Last
