My Georgia Collection

Martin-Latimer - Undocumented

Criswell - Undocumented

Terry Cox - GEO-885-B-30

Act: December 23, 1837 (redemption date September 1, 1868)

Bond: 500 Pounds Sterling @ 5% interest

Coupons: Presumably 60 @ 12 Lbs and 10 Shillings each

Serial #163

Rarity: Only Example Known

Grade: VF

Note: Signed by Governor George Gilmer. This bond was referenced in Mack Martin’s book in the description of GA-1. I’ve also uploaded a coupon example. As I understand it, 200 of these bonds were issued to help pay the remaining cost of completing the 108 Mile track between “Terminus” (Atlanta) and the Tennessee Border. Interesting note, George Gilmer’s veto of State funding for this effort was over-ruled by state Congress.

Martin-Latimer GA-5

Criswell - 61A

Act: December 11, 1861 (redemption date Feb 1, 1871)

Bond: $500 @ 8% interest

Coupons: 37 of 40 @ $8.75 each paid quarterly

Serial #689

Rarity: R8

Grade: VF

Note: Signed by Governor Joseph Brown. The printer’s imprint (R.H. Howell, Savannah, Ga.) found beneath Brown’s signature separates this example from GA-6 which lacks the printer’s imprint. Not extremely rare, but hard to find with all 40 coupons

Martin-Latimer GA-6

Criswell - 61B

Act: December 11, 1861 (redemption date Feb 1, 1871)

Bond: $500 @ 8% interest

Coupons: 28 of 40 @ $8.75 each paid quarterly

Serial # 4566

Rarity: R9

Grade: VF

Note: Signed by Governor Joseph Brown. The missing printer’s imprint (R.H. Howell, Savannah, Ga.) separates this example from GA-5. Rare, and I would love to upgrade to a nice example with more coupons remaining.
