PMG 64EPQ Choice Uncirculated
Issued in 1897 at Kepner, Pennsylvania, this 1/100 Unit Labor Exchange note comes from Branch 230 of the Brunswick Valley Colony, part of a late‑19th‑century cooperative movement that sought to replace money with direct valuation of labor. Rather than circulating as currency, these notes recorded a balance due to the bearer in labor or products of labor, reflecting reform‑era efforts to eliminate profit, interest, and wage inequality through equitable exchange.
The allegorical imagery and language—“Capitalization of Labor,” “Industrial Liberty,” and “The Day of Equity”—underscore the colony’s ideological mission. Graded PMG 64 EPQ (Choice Uncirculated), this example survives in exceptional condition, offering collectors a rare, high‑grade artifact from America’s experimental labor‑exchange economy.
