Georgia. June 8, 1777. One Tenth of a Dollar or Six Pence. No.51. 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 on the hard folds and a hinge repaired tear at the upper right that is long. Some surface soiling, but clean looking for the grade.
