Message:: [QUOTE="techwriter, post: 2339236, member: 75477"]Skippy Topaz, your attention was caught by the beauty of the note itself.  Skippy, examine your note for a watermark and you'll be able to determine rarity.watermark "TEN" = rarity 3, 50-100 notes knownwatermark "FIVE" = rarity 4, 25-50 notes knownwatermark "T.C.C. & Co." = rarity 4, 25-50 notes knownwatermark "J. GREEN & SONS" = rarity 6, 5-10 notes known (Series A and D) Reference--The Obsolete Paper Money of Virginia, Volume 1, pg. 15; Charles J. Affleck author; published by the Virginia Numismatic Association 1968 Updated version of the book published in 1992 lists the note thus:1.  no green overprint ('X' and 'TEN')  = rarity 7, 2-4 notes known2.  "TEN" = rarity 33.  "FIVE" = rarity 44.  "T.C.C. & Co." = rarity 1, 200 or more notes known5.  "J. GREEN & SONS" = rarity 4 Notice change in rarity of the "T.C.C. & Co.",  it is of note to remember that discovery of a hoard or the loss of a collection can change rarity drastically.  I would have to do some research but I believe quite a few of them were found.  Same basically with "J. GREEN & SONS"Sorry to be so long-winded.  Hope this helps. Oh, the note you acquired is VERY NICE and the condition is great.[/QUOTE]
