Georgia. September 10, 1777. Five Dollars in Continental Currency. No.2233. Dark blue seal. Rattlesnake. NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET. Signed by Hohendorf, Chevalier, Wylly, Wade and O'Bryen. From the face, a beautiful note. Backed onto a thin card, the grade is not easily ascertained. From the face and under a glass, we do not see a center fold. Under the light, there are visible pen endorsements on the verso that show through slightly. To hedge, we'll call this About Uncirculated, but the note attached to the card looks full ''Uncirculated''. No matter what, this is a lofty state. The blue seal is stupendously bold and the snake details border on perfect. The bottom left margin is trimmed in slightly. Yet another bold beauty from the Boyd pedigree with his code penciled on the back of the card, ''eyx''.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
