Georgia Currency
Exceedingly Rare 1762 Georgia One Shiling & Six Pence Note the Very First Example Early American has Offered
Georgia, 1762, One Shilling and Six Pence, Typeset Design, Fully Signed and Issued, Very Fine-30.
Fr. GA-34. A remarkable 1762 Georgia issue One Shilling and Six Pence note, one of perhaps a handful known to exist. Any note on this early 1762 Georgia Colonial currency issue is extremely rare. This low denomination being among the rarest as they often encountered more use in circulation and greater deterioration. This note is a pleasing whole and solid example, properly signed by James E. Pownell and Alexander Wylly in brown ink. It has all of the typeset ornamental outer border designs fully printed on the laid period paper. The left side is Indented in design. An ornamental square Cartouche printed at the lower right contains the denomination: "1s. 6d." This note was previously certified Very Fine-30 by PCGS, originally stated on its holder with splits; tape repair on back; minor mounting remnants on back. It was cut from its holder by , expertly conserved to remove the foreign surface substances and deftly seal splits. Currently this note has a cleaner more pleasing overall appearance, its original PCGS VF-30 holder is retained. The only other example we have traced was sold in the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection Sale of May 2004 graded EF and is the 5th Edition Newman, "The Early Paper Money of America" illustration note shown on page 133. That Ford note sold for $3,220 nearly two decades ago. The current note is the very first example of this denomination and type we have offered in four decades, lacking in virtually every specialized Georgia and Colonial paper money collection. Exceedingly rare. Provenance Ex: Eric P. Newman Collection.
