    Description

    Unusual $2-1/2 Denomination Type

    North Carolina April 2, 1776 $2 ½ Liberty Cap over Altar Fr. NC-159b. PCGS Very Fine 30.
    An unusual Colonial denomination, and one of two different vignette styles for this denomination. The other is the hand clasping thirteen arrows. A choice, problem-free example. Well margined on all sides and with period back endorsements. This note is also better by far than the Boyd "About Very Fine" piece sold in October 2006 for $1,092. This is one of the finest we have ever seen.
    Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society

    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.
