<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1184568, member: 24274&quot;]I got my hands on a great book, &quot;U.S. Essay, Proof and Specimen Notes&quot; by Gene Hessler, and found a *truly* unobtainable piece -- an 1862 $3 Legal Tender Note. Well, specimens of the front and back designs anyway. This was prepared by the American Bank Note Co. but never issued, obviously. I was so amazed to discover that $3 federal currency had even been designed, I had to share it. Wish it was in color, but it&#039;s a b/w book.</p><p><br /></p><p>The central vignette, &quot;Army and Navy&quot; was engraved by Louis Delnoce. He was one of the rare engravers to work independently in later life, and produced engravings for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, ABNC and a number of other bank note firms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
