State of North Carolina. May 10, 1780 Act of Assembly at Newbern. Six Hundred Spanish Mill’d Dollars. Fr. NC-199. PCGS About Uncirculated-55 Details. Corners Repaired. As illustrated.

Description: Crescit sub pondere virtus Thick paper. Serial No. 302. Signed by Vipon and Cooke. Two-Sided. Printed by James Davis. 92mm by 68mm. Death to Counterfeit. A simply outstanding example of the highest denomination note of the entire North Carolina series. It is thought that 1,000 or less of this denomination was printed. “This note is a miracle of survival in this grade,” wrote the Ford cataloger. The centering on both sides is nearly perfect, and the ink is bold and fresh in appearance, all on attractive, bright paper. Wayte Raymond’s penciled code on verso. The corners were strengthened and a hint of mounting residue at the four back corners has been curated. Very little, however, was done to alter the appearance or the historical nature of this rarity. A note for the ages, and one of the great prizes of this offering!
