June 30, 1748, Colony of South Carolina, Ten Pounds, Signed by William Pinckney, PMG graded Very Good-8.
Fr. SC-61. A remarkable early Large Format South Carolina rarity, lacking in virtually all collections. The overall physical condition of this rarity has improved from some expert conservation since the original Ford offering in 2005. Signed by John Dart, Branfill Evance, Wm. Pinckney, Will. Cattell, Jun., with other signatures somewhat too faded to clearly determine. Thanks to its careful curating, it faces up far finer than the current grade of net PMG Very Good-8 suggests, and it remains backed. In all fairness, it is a greatly improved and better preserved. That itself does nothing to detract from the great rarity of this impressively designed note. Here, the surfaces and its the still-bold inking make for a visually pleasing note, no matter the grade. The earliest South Carolina note in our current sale. “Significant and missing from the majority of Colonial note collections,” wrote the highly knowledgeable original Ford cataloger, Bruce Hagen. A highly important opportunity to acquire a truly notable major Colonial currency rarity.
Pedigree: From Stack's sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part VIII, January, 2005, Lot 1637.
