 Georgia. June 8, 1777. Six Dollars in Continental Currency. 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 seal inking as they attempted to get the color more uniform. Perhaps, these notes (the number 2 above also) did not reach circulation as such. About Uncirculated. Bright, the seal color as mentioned. Excellent body with a wide right sheet margin. The top is close, the other margins are complete. Fascinating and unusual.
Ex T. James Clarke Collection.
