April 2, 1776 North Carolina $1/8 "Dog" PCGS VF-30
North Carolina Currency, April 2, 1776 Halifax Issue, One Eighth of a Dollar, "Dog" Vignette, PCGS graded Very Fine-30.
Fr. NC-154a. This April 2, 1776 Revolutionary War date issue is one of the most fascinating in all within the field of collecting Colonial Currency. It's composed of denominations running from fractional $1/16 to a high of $20, with as many as eight different vignettes for several of the denominations. The low-denominated notes are virtually never seen. A complete set of this issue is 56 notes. To our best knowledge, only two complete sets of all 56 types have ever been formed. The printed "Dog" vignette on this note is exceptionally bold and sharp in detail on this current example. Its holder states apparent edge splits (which are minor, as shown). The entire border design remains intact and clearly visible, one small paper tear in the outer selvage at upper right. The blank reverse is clean and free of any notation. This example is actually nicer in appearance than the PCGS graded EF-40 note sold at auction by a midwest auction house in September 2011 that sold for $1,840. A very desirable major vignette design for all Patriotic "Dog" lovers.
