<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 2895354, member: 38692&quot;]Doubtful, I would never have exchange a paper promise to pay for actual metal coin at face value... not sure if that is real or restrike, love to have one though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today&#039;s new pickup is an interesting note, it&#039;s a State of Missouri note of indebtedness for military service from 1874. I don&#039;t know exactly how these worked, in as much as the legalized authority and such, but looks like Adam Bruner served in E Company, 35th regiment, and in exchange for his service, the State would pay him the sum of $900 - when the US Government paid them. I&#039;m always a little wary when payment is predicated on long chain of promises... I mean, I wouldn&#039;t have a problem cashing a two-party out-of-state paycheck, would I? Ask Uncle Buck...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]696340[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]696341[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
