Georgia. 1776. Four Spanish Milled Dollars. No.5524. Light blue seal. Liberty Cap. LIBERTAS CARIOR AURO. Border variety (d). Signed by Habersham, Houstoun, Telfair, O'Bryen and Ewen. A third example, with a different border variety. Very Fine and many will consider this finer. Six or so folds, one is heavy and other handling. However, the paper body is still strong and based on the seal eye appeal, this is a very sharp and vivid example. The light blue seal is evenly printed with the motto showing only slight weakness at the top. The left end is only slightly trimmed in and the other margins are wide to jumbo. Two very petty edge splits, hard to notice as they have not received the crude repairs of less informed collectors of yesteryear. A natural beauty with the character of light circulation enhancing the history of this fascinating paper currency note.
