 Georgia. 1777. Nine Spanish Milled Dollars. No.4027. Blue-Green seal. Justice. SUSTINE RECTUM. Border variety (a). Signed by Saltus, Andrew, Stone, Wade and O'Bryen. Top corner of the sheet with two ''boardwalk'' margins at the left and top. Choice About Uncirculated. The vertical fold is slightly hard when viewed from the back, but nearly invisible from the face. Some minor handling on the corners is the only other wear and this was probably old-time dealer handling. The seal color is rich and the Justice details for the type are excellent. The seal die embosses the paper nicely. The right margin is a little close and the bottom is ample. Stunning crispness and natural body. Period brown pen endorsement on the back and very minor traces of mounting glue at the top of the back. The note is quite exceptional. We are uncertain whether a ''Gem Crisp Uncirculated'' note exists in any private collection. Likely, to be Condition Census for the type, as we have seen few approach this for overall beauty.
