Lawful Money of South Carolina. April 10, 1778. Uncut Sheet of Four Notes. No.9373. Each note signed by Jno. Neufville, Jr. and H.[enry] Crouch. Uniface four subject sheet, Two Shillings & Six Pence-Three Shillings & Nine Pence/Five Shillings-Ten Shillings, with untrimmed wide margins. Printed on laid paper. Each note with cursive font styles and ornate end pattern cuts. At the lower right corner are circular ''seal'' style vignettes. A striking sheet and in top quality for those we have seen. A large majority of this type received water staining and humidity damage that erodes the edges of the paper into the corners usually. Choice About Uncirculated and Superb. There is a light horizontal fold that all should ignore. The impression is certainly an early copper plate state and is deeply impressed with boldly embossed edge plate lines seen on the laid paper. Premium quality and not a sheet to be cut for single impressions. Due to superb quality, worth much more than the four single notes individually in our opinion.
