Rare Fifteen Dollars "Millstone on Palm Tree" Georgia Seal

Georgia. 1777 (No Resolution Date). Fifteen Dollars. Blue-green "Millstone on Palm Tree" Seal. PMG graded Very Fine-20
This extremely rare, odd Fifteen Dollars denomination note has a very clean and evenly circulated appearance. There are four full margins, the right being Jumbo. All of the border designs and text are clear and well printed in red and black. The light blue-green "Millstone on Palm Tree" Seal at the lower right is quite pleasing. All five signatures are prominent, all written in rich brown ink, the holder stating Ink burn, though it seems to this cataloger that the term, Ink spread may be more appropriate, if it should have been used at all. The blank reverse is free from any typical period notations. This is a most presentable example of this unusual and odd Fifteen Dollars note. PMG records certifying only two examples, this being the Second Finest Certified with one PMG EF-45 finer. There were only two examples in the Stack's May 2005 auction of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part X, graded Nearly EF and EF, both selling for $3,735 at the time. It would make quite an attractive addition to any serious quality Georgia currency collection.
