Province of Georgia. Undated (1774). Ten Shillings. Fr. GA-53. PCGS Very Fine-20 Details. Repairs, Severed and Reattached, Serial Number Redrawn. As illustrated.

Description: Laid paper. Serial No. 423, redrawn at some point, see below. Signed by N. Jones, Tho. Shruder, James Houstoun, T. Netherclift, Nath. Hall, and John Jamieson. 125mm by 95mm. Uniface. A rare series in any denomination, these undated 1774 issues are a focal point on many an advanced collector’s want list. The present piece has a sparkling pedigree, and a curious story as well. Another note that faces up well, even with the soft repairs. This rarity is the ideal companion to the Five Shillings piece offered immediately before this lot.

Pedigree: From a private purchase, October 22, 1961; later to have been part of the New Netherlands sale of the Affleck-Ball Collections, December, 1975, but the lot went missing prior to cataloguing. The serial number was spuriously altered before the note was recovered; John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part III, May, 2004, Lot 772. (Ford Price Realized: $4,313)
