ONLY 33 REPORTED IN COMB'S CATALOG. Medium strike of the 10¢ Georgia First Federal Issue embossed revenue stamped paper. # RM 72 on laid, paper. The document is dated December 1, 1800. Manuscript note of size 7.5 in. On rag content paper; age toned, tiny edge nicks at end of folds, tiny holes along a fold.

The 10¢ embossed stamp is located at the left corner, not affected by a fold, overwritten. The note was written on reverse of the stamped sheet, so the stamp is reversed on the note side- see image. I suspect that this note was written on a piece from a larger taxed document which had been written on the side of the paper which would have shown the embossed stamp in its proper facing. Scarce, only 33 of the 10¢ GA are reported in the Combs catalog. The document is dated 1 Jan.

On rag content paper; age toned, very fine condition. The stamp is mildly affected by folds, overwritten, but has a tiny pin hole. The pin hole is common in the. Embossed stamps but I do not know its function. Also the stamp is located at the upper right corner of the document.
