Colonial Currency, Georgia. 1776 Blue Seal. $2. Floating Jugs PASS-CO Abt Unc-50 1776 Two Dollars Blue “Floating Jugs” Seal Note Abt. Unc Georgia. 1776 Light Blue Seal. Two Dollars. “Floating Jugs” Vignette. PASS-CO graded About Uncirculated-50. Fr. GA-72a. This impressive 1776 Revolutionary War period Georgia note has excellent margins and centering that display the well printed red and black text. An ancient tone spot is located within the upper two signatures, while all five signatures are boldly written. The Blue Seal with its “Floating Jugs” vignette is distinct and absolutely gorgeous. Traces of original press text embossing remain within the paper. The production method in 1776 for any note of two or more colors meant extra work for the printer. Each sheet had to be placed onto the printing press twice, one time to print the red text and a second pass to add the black. Each time a color was printed, the paper sheet had to be hung up to dry for a day and then laid back down, hopefully in the same exact place as proper alignment was critical, to add the second color. Obviously, this was a far more timely procedure that added extra work and cost. That is a major reason we see so few Colonial issues that are multicolor.
