Virginia March 1, 1781 $250 Thin Laid Paper VA-207a - Net Very Fine+ 20 Reales Five years later it wasThe good: Strictly original paper with terrific printed ink and bold contrast. Signatures range from bold to modestly faded. Overall spectacularly original with no paper mounting you so often see. The bad: A small cornering and moderately chippy edges. Partially broken back with splits at top and bottom of center fold. Paper is lightly stained overall, though not to distraction. This notes appeal will rely largely on the type of collector you are.
