North Carolina Colonial Note Fr#NC-146 August 21, 1775 $1 PCGS 3 *3 Known*
The extremely rare notes of the August 21, 1775 Hillsborough North Carolina issue were printed with engraved copper plates with ornamental boarders and unusual vignettes. The vignette of this $1 bill features Hermes (an Ancient greek deity) holding a banner that ready “12 United Colonies”. The reference to only 12 colonies it due to the fact that Georgia had not yet sent a representative to the Continental Congress. Of the 4,000 $1 bills originally printed, only 2 other examples are known to exist today. Previously a part of the Kimpton Collection. An incredible rarity with decent legibility. A centerpiece note for any North Carolina collection.
