South Carolina February 8, 1779 $40 PMG Very Fine 30. A moderately circulated example of this lowest and toughest to acquire denomination from the issue is offered here. The original issue contained only $40, $60, $80 and $100 notes, and those are the elusive denominations. The $50, $70 and $90 denominations were added later, and these are the ones that are most often seen. Of the first issue, the $40 was the shortest printing, with only 2,000 notes produced. This is #1922 of the 2,000. Some repairs have been noted by PMG. HID08101242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
