Rare 1776 $2 Gold Option Note

Georgia 1776 Gold Option $2 Flag, Drum, Sword & Gun Fr. GA-78. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent.
This is an interesting and very rare "one note type" with a distinctive obligation and vignette. It is thought to be Rarity 7 (4-12 known). The clause made it payable in "Gold or Silver" and the denomination was printed in black, not red. The four vignette motifs symbolize the patriotic spirit. From the face, the note is overall pleasing and bright with even margins all around. Noted by grading with "Edge Splits, Tears, and Minor Damage; Minor Stains." The faults are not severe compared with the eye appeal, and the note is difficult to find in all grades.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
