January 9, 1782, Georgia, Handwritten Denominations, Typeset Bearer Certificate, by Resolve of Assembly to receive Current State Money as Specie at the "Sales of Confiscated Estates," (Tory Properties), variety with the first "c" in "confiscated" is in lowercase, Anderson GA-1, Remainder, Gem Crisp Uncirculated.
Fr. GA-125. This is one of the Finest Known and important examples of this extremely rare Revolutionary War issue Georgia note that is only known as a Remainder. It is sharply printed in black ink with typeset on laid period paper. This issue is listed as “Very Rare” in Friedberg and displays no valuation in Newman due to its rarity. The issue was redeemable for only ten years by November 1, 1782, and was receivable as Specie and Georgia Current Money in payment for purchases of Confiscated Tory (British Loyalist) Estates. The 2008 fifth edition of “The Early Paper Money of America” by Eric P. Newman mentions on page 152 that there are two distinctly different varieties of this note. One type features the variety with the first "C" in "Confiscated" capitalized, while this note is the other variety with the first "c" in "confiscated" typeset in lowercase. This extremely rare Georgia note has a large wide sheet margin selvage at left and bottom. This clean well printed note has no problems with excellent eye appeal, certainly a prize example, a rarity lacking in most all Georgia, Colonial Currency and early American fiscal collections.
