1872 - $20, State of South Carolina, Columbia - PMG 66 EPQ - Gem Uncirculated

1872 State of South Carolina $20 Revenue Bond Scrip, issued at Columbia and graded PMG 66 EPQ. This obsolete currency represents a fascinating post-Civil War artifact—a state-issued note printed by the American Bank Note Company to address railroad bond liabilities. The note features ornate vignettes and is marked receivable for taxes, reflecting an era when states issued their own currency before federal systems fully standardized. A premium example in gem uncirculated condition, ideal for serious numismatic collectors.
