Description

VA-7. Virginia. June 8, 1757. 2 Shillings, 6 Pence. PCGS Banknote Very Good 10 Details. Tears, Piece Missing, Backed, Reassembled.
No. 11849. Plate None. Issued as part of an initial emission of £179,962/10s, a further £32,000 was later authorized by the Virginia Legislature in May 1758. Redeemable on October 20, 1769, a small cast cut rendition of the Virginia arms can be seen to the right of the redemption clause. Printed on rather thin paper by printer William Hunter; this note has since been reconstructed and backed. A testament to the fragility of many Colonial-era notes that have managed to survive to the present. PCGS Banknote comments "Tears, Piece Missing, Backed, Reassembled."

Estimate: $1250.00- $1750.00
