Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $7. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. Fr-MA-283. Although PCGS Currency notes a "repaired edge split at the top center" of this note, this piece is exemplary in that it is not hole cancelled, a feature that easily 19 out of 20 pieces from this issue usually exhibits.

New York March 5, 1776 $2/3. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ. Fr-NY-190. A lovely example of this fractional denomination, with outstanding margins that frame the face design almost ideally. The back design is off center a hair to the right, with a small portion of the adjacent note on the sheet showing at left. About as nice an "XF" one is bound to find from this issue, which is often plagued by excessively toned or damaged paper or other flaws.

North Carolina Aug. 8, 1778 $1/2. Fr-NC-172. A very pleasing example of this issue that is seldom seen much finer. There are no major flaws present, and the printing and inks are sharp and bold. A large piece of mica is present at the bottom center of the face, giving the collector an ideal example of the primitive methods of anti-counterfieting that were used by Colonial era printers.

South Carolina April 10, 1778 15s. PCGS About New 50. Fr-SC-150. There are four common denominations from this date of issue, and the remaining four are very scarce in all grades. This 15 shilling note that displays the "Rising Sun" vignette is as nice as any we've seen. It is free of any flaws save for a tiny nibble in the lower left corner, which was undoubtedly accounted for in the grade as the note has but a single light bend and would otherwise easily grade 55 or 58. This piece is considerably nicer than the Apparent About New 55 example that sold last September in a Heritage sale for $1,265, and we wouldn't be at all surprised with a realization today well over our perhaps conservative estimate. An important offering for the Colonial or South Carolina specialist.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
