The bills from the August 8, 1778 North Carolina issue were payable in Spanish milled dollars and printed by James Davis on dark course paper. This $10 note bears the motto “Independence”. There was a shortage of these notes due to a smallpox epidemic at the time. Incredibly scarce note in pristine problem free VF/XF condition. Of the 16,666 $10 bills originally printed, only 11 are known to exist today. Tough to find this nice with crisp clean paper and bold signatures, well deserving of the elusive gold sticker from GCC
Signers: R. Caswell, S. Caswell
