2639 Georgia Colonial “Resolution of September 10, 1777” Issue
Banknote.
Georgia, September 10, 1777, $8, P-S841, Issued, S/N
919, The $8.00 is far and away the rarest note of this eight piece
series. Ever popular because of the design of the seal being 13 rings
surrounding C Congress meaning Continental Congress. This same
design, in a modified version, was also used 12 years later on the
reverse of the first official U. S. Coin - the 1787 Fugio Cent. A pleas-
ing VF with a couple of thin splits repaired on the reverse. The most
difficult note to obtain in the series and always in demand because
of its vignette and its association with Ben Franklin. Catalogs in
Newman, VF $2700, XF 6,000. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
