<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1013683, member: 66&quot;]Looks good, and as to the paper, yes it seems flimsy but it was actually pretty strong.&nbsp; And if you compare it to most of the pre-1862 banknotes (State, wildcat, broken bank notes etc) you will find that this was the paper quality in common use for paper money at the time.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t had the chance to handle the early 1862 - 1870 era Federal notes so I don&#039;t know what the paper was like on them.&nbsp; It would not surprise me to find them to be similar.&nbsp; After all some of the notes for both the North and the South were printed by the same printers.&nbsp; We didn&#039;t have the BEP or Crane Paper back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
