Description
Virginia October 5, 1778 $50 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. A mere 9597 of these $50 notes were printed. The $50 and $100 denominations, the two highest printed, were indented typeset bills printed on large pieces of laid paper. This example measures approximately 3 3/8 x 6 inches. The printers were both A. Purdie and Clarkson & Davis. Alexander Purdie died of dropsy the next year. John Clarkson was Purdie's nephew and Augustine Davis was taught the printing trade by Purdie. This piece was signed by Jonathan Boush and Edward Archer. This note is listed in the current edition of Newman in Fine for $2000, with no higher grade listed. The note has a single split repaired on the blank back, which caused the apparent grade. Save for that, it is a lovely XF, and very rare at this level.From The Midnight Ride Collection
