    Description

    South Carolina February 8, 1779 $40 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45. An exceptionally nice example of this lowest and toughest denomination from the issue. The original issue contained only $40, $60, $80 and $100 notes, and those are the elusive denominations. The $50, $70 and $90 denominations were added later, and these are the ones that are most often seen. Of the first issue, the $40 was the shortest printing, with only 2000 notes produced. This note is extremely low serial #6 of the 2000. If memory serves, this is the only single-digit serial number piece we have seen for any of the seven denominations from this issue. The apparent grade is due to four short edge splits, two of which have been checked with tape. The note is well signed, nicely margined and with strong bold printing on both sides.
