 North Carolina Currency. April 2, 1776 Halifax Issue. Half a Dollar. Owl Vignette. No.12121. Signed by Webb and Haywood. Printed on laid paper. Pattern floral border at the top and denomination at the left. The owl vignette in a circle. A choice example with very crisp paper and clean surface. Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Harsh in a way, but two adjacent vertical folds down the center and upper corner folds. All four are light and the note has no pesky splits, chips or other nastiness. Trimmed very tightly to a razor thin fineness. However, full and complete. Period pen endorsement on back. Penciled ''UEZ'' code by Clarke and ''myx'' by Boyd on the back.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate; T. James Clarke Collection; Henry Chapman.
