<B>South Carolina February 8, 1779 $60 Extremely Fine.</B></I> Thomas Coram of Charleston, South Carolina engraved the design for this popular issue. The face vignette is of a seated Liberty figure holding a cornucopia, surrounded by a ribbon with the Latin motto "MUTUA DEFENSIO TUTISSIMA," which Newman translates as "Mutual defense is safest." The paper is bright and attractive with all of the printed details remaining bold. A tiny portion of the top margin has been expertly repaired, but does not detract from the overall eye appeal.<BR><I>From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
