September 10, 1777 Georgia One Dollar Justice Seal Note
Georgia. September 10, 1777. One Dollar. “Justice” Seal. Choice Very Fine.
Fr. GA-114. A lovely, very evenly circulated Revolutionary War Georgia note that is highly colorful and bold in its appearance. The “Justice” Seal is fully upon the paper and truly magnificent in its sharp red printed detail. This note has four full to large margins that nicely frame the outer border designs. This Georgia Issue was printed ”... for the Support of the Continental Troops...” as stated within its text. This is a superior looking, colorful note that displays well and is worthy of a nice quality Colonial Currency collection.
The production method for printing Paper Money notes in 1777 for any note of two or more colors meant extra work for the printer. Each sheet had to be placed onto the printing press twice, one time to print the red text and a second pass to add the black. Each time a color was printed, the paper sheet had to be hung up to dry for a day and then laid back down, hopefully in the same exact place as proper alignment was critical, to add the second color. This proved to be a far more timely procedure that added extra work and cost. That is a major reason we see so few Colonial issues that are multicolor.
