Fr. GA-86. The Georgia 1777 No Resolution Date Four Dollars Green Seal with "Liberty Cap" type is one the greatest rarities of all the Revolutionary War Georgia issues. It stands alone as the Only note on this series having no price values listed in any quality in the 5th Edition of Newman. Border design type "c". Blank reverse with a contemporary notation, "30-0-0". Most specialized Colonial Georgia currency collections remain without any representative. It's key Green printed "Liberty Cap on Pole Seal" vignetted Seal is very clear at lower right. A previous stated in Newman, page 148, a prior $23,000 hammer price is the highest auction record for a Fr. GA-86 note, set in the May 2005 Ford/Boyd auction example graded Extremely Fine raw. That note is "off the market" with no known plans for resale. This current note is whole and solid with a well printed "Liberty Cap" vignetted Seal showing its "LIBERTAS CARIOR AURO" motto clearly. Its PCGS holder notes apparent stains and small edge tears, although no actual "stains" appear to this cataloger, having only scattered mild tone to its laid period paper as shown, the small edge tears are trivial. This note has massive original jumbo sheet margins at left and bottom. It is fully Signed by signatories: Benjamin Andrew, William Evans, Samuel Saltus, William O'Bryan, and Nehemiah Wade clearly written in brown ink. This critical "Key" Georgia Revolutionary War period rarity is one of the very finest of perhaps a handful existent. A prize item for the successful bidder. Ex: Eric P. Newman Collection.
