<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Teddydogno1, post: 1969247, member: 71226&quot;]Picked up these two over the past week.</p><p><br /></p><p>1864 Confederate $20 note (a T-67 I think).&nbsp; I didn&#039;t find the serial number in the lists of known repros and it feels like old paper.&nbsp; Print looks a bit blurry under magnification, but that may be due to the poor original paper quality (?).&nbsp; The old handwriting is tough to decipher, but I THINK the Serial is 75756 (no &quot;hats&quot; on the fives).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]349052[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]349051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This note is not one that I have seen exactly before (but then, I don&#039;t get out much).&nbsp; On the right it says &quot;Post Note&quot; and on the left &quot;FIVE&quot;.&nbsp; Flanking the main image of a riverside dock scene is &quot;5&quot; on the left and &quot;V&quot; on the right, so they have all the bases covered!&nbsp; It is a remainder and oil stained about 2/3 of the way across.&nbsp; The back is unprinted.&nbsp; The main text reads, &quot;A ________ after date, We promise to pay James Monroe or bearer FIVE dollars.&nbsp; Cincinnati ___________&nbsp; 18___&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]349054[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]349053[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Very small at the bottom is &quot;Murray Draper Fairman &amp; Co.&quot;.&nbsp; Is this the printer, or the company who issued this note?&nbsp; EDIT:&nbsp; Just found some info that this is the engraver/printer.&nbsp; Formed in 1810 and merged/renamed in 1823, putting a 13-year window on its printing.&nbsp; Interestingly, this timeframe is during the Presidency of James Monroe.&nbsp; So it seems this note is payable to the President or bearer?&nbsp; Curious, if I&#039;m understanding it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any information or comments that can be provided would be most welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
