Description
A tangible piece of Revolutionary-era finance, this South Carolina March 6, 1776 £25 note arrives certified by PMG at Very Fine 30. Issued just months before the Declaration of Independence, it represents the economic resolve of a colony on the cusp of statehood. Denominated in pounds sterling, the £25 was a substantial sum in its day, and higher denominations from this turbulent period are far less frequently encountered than small-change notes—making this an especially desirable example for both type and state collectors.
