Georgia. 1777. Seventeen Spanish Milled Dollars. No.138. Blue-Green seal. Rattlesnake. NEMO ME IMMUNE LACESSET. Border variety (c). Signed by Saltus, Andrew, Stone, O'Bryen and Ewen. An excellent odd denomination item and with the popular ''Rattlesnake'' motif. Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Many folds, but they are light and barely affect the surface appearance of the note. The note's brightness and excellent margins elevate this to the appeal of a higher grade. The seal is very sharp for the issue and type. The details in the snake are superb and the motto is mostly readable. Well margined on all sides and only a trivial edge tear (1/8 inch or less) at the right is reported. A premium note and again, worthy of strong consideration from all.
