NC-206a and NC-206b. PCGS Encapsulated.  This is a unique and fascinating primary source document that provides a view into counterfeiting in the early Confederation period North Carolina. Two different contemporary counterfeit notes affixed to it on the docketed side (opposite the textual portion). Both notes are affixed with glue and are both emblem types (Ships and Justice) of the May 17, 1783 20 Shilling notes. Each is penned \"Counterfeit\" on the face. The false 20 Shillings \"Justice\" appears to be a well-defined Very Fine note. The false 20 Shillings \"Crown and Book\" has a small piece off the edge, otherwise it appears to be Fine or so condition. The notes are perpendicular to the docket text across in the center segment. The legal text is fascinating. And the phrase referring to the \"utter[er] and pass[er]\" of the notes, Henry Ebon Sears as \"a person of evil name and fame and dishonest conversation,\" reflects that there were bad guys in all periods of history. The 40 shillings was a considerable sum of money, and counterfeits from this series were a plague on local commerce. The document is folded into six parts, and has some petty edge splits. As a document, in Fine or better condition. A unique and historic item and with two rare and desirable contemporary counterfeit notes. The document and transcription may be viewed on the Heritage website.  Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016).
