Martin-Latimer Type 2

Criswell - GA CR4

Serial # 35435

Rarity: R1

Grade: AU

Note: Neat gutter folds across the width of this note

Martin-Latimer Type 2

Criswell - GA CR4

Serial # 1643

Rarity: R1

Grade: XF

Note: All 4 margins present (just barely). I’m guessing I purchased this note because it was signed by P. Thweatt for Comptroller General (my other 3 examples were signed by Bloodworth.) Red Overprint kinda low, but not low enough to consider this a Type 2B

Martin-Latimer Type 2A

Criswell - GA CR4A

Serial # 33076

Rarity: R7

Grade: XF

Note: Feel kinda guilty for calling this a Type 2A (the red overprint barely touches letters on the ‘T’ and ‘E’.) Ink Rot on the ‘J’ on Comptroller signature. Fuzzy Treasury Stamp on obverse… I’ve come to recognize this as rolling ‘left to right’ stamping motion instead of ‘up and down’ stamping motion. Finally…the left plate letter ‘A’ is missing the Crossbar (which technically means this note is a Type E (R6); however, I consider this a plate ‘wear and tear’ issue occurring on notes ~>=20001 and serial #s ending in a ‘1’ or ‘6’ (indicating the top note on a plate of 5 vertical notes)

Martin-Latimer Type 2A

Criswell - GA CR4A

Serial # 45753

Rarity: R7

Note: My nicest example for this Type variety…the red overprint completely clears the top of ‘The State of Georgia’

Martin-Latimer Type 2A

Criswell - GA CR4A

Serial # 45760

Rarity: R7

Grade: AU

Note: Pretty example of a high red overprint for this variety. It appears to be printed on the same sheet of paper as another example I have posted (45753) as all denominations >$1 were printed 10 (5 x 2) to a sheet. I purchased this note in a lot of ~30 notes in 2022.

Martin-Latimer Type 2B

Criswell - GA CR4B

Serial # 562

Rarity: R8

Grade: XF

Note: Kinda of feel guilty calling this a Type 2B (because the read overprint barely touches bottom of the ‘Ten Dollars’; however, the red overprint certainly ‘partially covers signatures’. P Thweatt signed this note

Martin-Latimer Type 2B

Criswell - GA CR4B

Serial # 562

Martin-Latimer Type 2B

Martin-Latimer Type 2D

Criswell - GA CR4D

Serial # 24982

Rarity: R10

Grade: UNC

Note: Purchased from Hugh Shull. This variety is missing the Georgia Treasury stamp. This is a beautiful, 4 margin, UNC example. Thrilled to find this!

Martin-Latimer Type 2D

Criswell - GA CR4D

Serial # 24989

Rarity: R10

Grade: UNC

Note: This variety is missing the Georgia Treasury stamp. This is a beautiful, 4 margin, UNC example. It was printed on the same sheet as my other example (24982.) I purchased this note in a lot of ~30 notes in 2022.

Martin-Latimer Type 2X

Criswell - GA CR4 Unlisted

Serial # 24917

Rarity: Undefined

Grade: AU

Note: One of my top finds this year, and one of my cheapest acquisitions of the year. Found this on Invaluable’s Auction Site. This is the first example of a ML2 double-stamp I’ve seen. If it weren’t for a tiny piece of ink rot on the bottom of the “J” or TJ Bloodworth’s signature and a tiny crease on obverse bottom left corner, this would be an UNC note. 4 complete margins and a great example of a double-stamp. Interesting that it is only 65 serial numbers apart from the note I have exhibited with no Treasury stamp (#24982)
