Georgia
2620 Georgia Colonial “Act of September 29, 1773” Issue
Banknote.
Georgia, 1773, 20 Shillings, P-Unlisted, Issued, S/N
9004. A piece from one of the earlier issues of Georgia - 1773. A large
size note with beautiful bright red and black printing. An interesting
feature of these notes is the method used to prevent counterfeit
detection. Each note was hand cut on the left from a ledger. A seri-
al number was then inserted on both the note and the remaining
part of the note that was left in the ledger. When the note was then
ultimately redeemed it could be physically matched against the
unique irregular cut left in the ledger to insure that it was the origi-
nal note issued. Previously in the Ford collection and sold by Stack’s
in 2004, Stacks described this note as Extremely Fine + despite
some partial splits which are reinforced on the back with hinged
tape. The paper is crisp and fresh with the red text plate showing its
deep embossing still. The face bright and super wide margins. A rare
issue, and especially so in this superb state. Value $3500. (ex-John
Ford, May 2004, Lot 768, Sold for $2990). . . . . . . . . . . .
