Georgia, 1777, $13 Spanish Milled Dollars, P-
S803, Issued, S/N 614, Liberty cap on lower right, Another very
interesting denomination in this Blue-Green Seal Series. The note
appears a solid VF but for three short edge splits whose repair is only
noticed on the reverse; also a bit darkened on the upper and lower
edges of the reverse where the piece was once mounted into an
album then carefully removed. The note gives the appearance of a
$4,000 piece from the front. Worth at least half that with the
described reverse issues. Catalogs in Newman $3750 VF.
