United States 1872 State of South Carolina 20 Dollars Revenue Bond Scrip Columbia Act March 2 1872 PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

United States 1872 – State of South Carolina $20 Revenue Bond Scrip Act of March 2 1872 Columbia Issue

The central vignette portrays Liberty presenting a laurel to an allegorical figure of South Carolina while a sailor and ship in the background evoke commerce and maritime trade. The state seal appears prominently in the center with the Latin motto 'Animis Opibusque Parati'-Prepared in Mind and Resources-encircled by flourishes of oak, palm, and rice. The numeral '20' is printed multiple times in both black and green, enhanced by a large green protector overprint, while the serial number '2583' appears in red. In the lower left, the bold Roman 'XX' denomination rests within a guilloche medallion, and to the right, an engraved portrait of a woman reading reinforces the domestic virtues that Reconstruction propaganda sought to associate with recovery and stability.

United States 1872 State of South Carolina 50 Dollars Revenue Bond Scrip Columbia Act March 2 1872 PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated

United States 1872 – State of South Carolina $50 Revenue Bond Scrip Act of March 2 1872 Columbia Issue

The design balances artistry and propaganda. At center, an engraved portrait of George Washington anchors the composition, flanked by vignettes emblematic of South Carolina’s economy: a farmer with a horse-drawn plow at left and a cotton field worker at right. Above, 'The State of South Carolina' arcs in bold Gothic script under the heading 'Revenue Bond Scrip.' Rich green tinting reinforces the denomination, with large shaded 'FIFTY' protectors and dual '50' counters in ornate guilloche. The intricate micro-lettered border repeats the word 'FIFTY' in alternating fonts-a subtle security feature designed to frustrate counterfeiters.

United States Series of 1928C Five Dollars Legal Tender Note with red Treasury seal and red serial numbers, GA block, Friedberg 1528, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, showing strong centering, vivid red seal color, and crisp engraving detail.

United States 1928C - Five Dollars Legal Tender Note Red Seal, Friedberg 1528, GA Block, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

The vivid red Treasury seal and matching red serial numbers distinguish Legal Tender Notes from contemporary Federal Reserve issues. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, these obligations were direct liabilities of the United States Treasury itself. The bold red elements contrast sharply against the deep green engraving of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln, whose dignified likeness anchors the obverse. The reverse presents the engraved Lincoln Memorial vignette, a compact yet intricate rendering that balances architectural precision with classical symmetry.
