NC-153a. North Carolina. April 2, 1776. $1/16. PCGS Currency Very Fine 25. Beetle.No. 6864. Signed by Benjamin McCulloch. One of the rarest and most elusive notes of the entire North Carolina 1776 issue. This Beatle note is rarely seen, let alone in any acceptable and collectable grade. This note is the finest Beatle note seen by either service or by us. PCGS notes Severed and Tape Repaired, Edge Repair at Right, Design Redrawn. The $1/16 denominations, being of such low value prior to inflations, were rapidly circulated and destroyed. This is a truly sensational example for collectors of high rarities. North Carolina notes of this popular April 2, 1776 issue have wonderful style vignettes, which adorn each of the 56 type notes. Only three complete collections have been formed. We sold this same note over a decade ago when it realized $1,725. A great note.
