Territory of Florida. One Dollar. Tallahassee. June 12 [written]. '18'30. Printed on white paper. Standing Hebe and eagle, large '1'. At left panel Washington and at the right counters and 'ONE' between. Titles and obligations in the centers: '...pay John Y. Garey....at the Treasury Office....Interest at six per cent until paid.' Balch, Stiles & Co., N.Y./N.& S.S. Jocelyn. New Haven. Criswell T8 (Rarity 9). Cassidy TN-6. Durand FLT-174.
Fully signed and issued. No.18. Verso endorsement and countersignature of ''John Y. Garey, Auditor''. A bright and vivid note. Nearly Extremely Fine, but looks new at first glance. The folds are visible from the back and the cutting is slightly close in a few places. Some ink endorsement bleed through at the left. However, quite a desirable series of notes on the order of middle rarity 5 when placed in the SPMC standard rarity guide and away from the over hyped and antique ''Criswellian'' confusion. An essential series for a Southern State collection.
Ex Hank Biecuk, August 25, 1960.
