<b>February 8, 1779, Original Uncut Sheet of Two Notes, $100, Choice Crisp Uncirculated.</b>
An outstanding highlight for any better collection of Colonial rarities or for the South Carolina specialists. This example has wide, full margin selvage which still retains traces from the plate impression made on the printing press, back in 1779. Each of the notes is full crisp Uncirculated. There is a very old fold located exactly halfway between the two individual notes, and a 1.5' internal thin tear exists in the middle of that fold and it appears to be rather easy to reseal, if desired. The notes are quite clean, though there is some modest tone specs and one small spot located mostly around the outer selvage areas. The black printing is sharp and distinct, the rich bold brown signatures and serial number adding to the eye appeal. An impressive item worthy of strong bidding consideration.
