North Carolina Colonial Note Fr#NC-184a May 15, 1779 $10 PMG 30 *15 Known*
This $10 note from the May 15, 1779 North Carolina issue features an engraved top border and a mostly typeset design. Printed on light course paper by Hugh Walker of Wilmington, NC. The printer included secret marks in the text to deter and expose counterfeiters. The secret mark on this $10 bill is the misspelling of DEATH to DRATH on the left edge and a small u over “May”. There is a neat motto at the bottom left that reads “American Union for ever”. Very scarce and seldom seen note. Of the 10,000 originally printed, only 15 are known to exist today.
