Description:
USA, Virginia, Richmond, Virginia Treasury Note, paper 100, Aug. 13, 1861, serial 1027, pp A, extremely rare, PMG AU 55.
Cr-VA-1; Jones-Littlefield VT02-06. A choice, problem-free example of the one of the finest and most difficult Virginia notes around. Only 6,150 notes were issued by the Virginia Treasury in mid-1861, all printed by the firm of Hoyer & Ludwig in Richmond (also notable for their Confederate banknote and stamp printing). By late 1863, just 83 $100s were left outstanding, the rest redeemed and destroyed. Now, 150 plus years later, less than ten are known in any grade and condition. PMG #2192314-001.
