<p>[QUOTE=&quot;commidaddy, post: 772670, member: 15344&quot;]Ok first of all, I know I need pictures, but I don&#039;t have any right now, just trying to get some leads because my redbook of paper money is pretty much useless right now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I picked up a few notes today at my coin shop (including my first fractional, yaaay!!!), so here&#039;s what i KNOW:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1918 Fed. Res. Bank Note (Chicago) Elliott, Burke</p><p>1874 .25 cent Fractional</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and here&#039;s where I&#039;m stuck:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First one with a brief description.</p><p>Top Center-Left is the word Maryland.</p><p>Center of Note reads: The Somerset and Worcester Savings Bank</p><p>One Dollar</p><p>Some Script Which I can&#039;t seem to make out, with a year of 1862.</p><p>Top Picture is of a lady sitting next to two sheep, bottom right picture of a girl in a hat carrying wheat or something, some sort of plant</p><p>Left picture is of a beehive</p><p>Says American Bank Note Co. New York at Bottom center</p><p>Weird thing is, there is nothing on the back? is it a fake or something? It&#039;s in rough shape, paper seems brittle?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok next three are just confederate notes i was curious about.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First is a 50 dollar note with I believe it is Jefferson Davis on it, with Richmond and Feb. 17th, 1864 written below in script. Any comments, history or links to grading, it&#039;s in pretty rough shape, just trying to get a value as well ( i know, tough without a picture).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another Note, a $5 note, dated Feb. 17th, 1864 in Richmond, with a picture of I suppose the presidents mansion? on the top and some guy in the bottom right corner.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And finally a $20 note again from Richmond and again dated Feb. 17th, 1864 with a picture of a large building with a bell tower? in the center, could be the treasury?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, are the confederate notes hand-signed? it almost appears that way.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well anyway, thanks for any info/history lessons on any or all of these notes! I was way excited to get them, probably overpayed, but I&#039;m happy<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> photos to come in a day or two (i hope)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
