<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 3035798, member: 38692&quot;]Today&#039;s note is a little change of pace, from Confederate era southern state issues, this one a $5 from the great state of Mississippi. For some reason I really started liking the Mississippi state issues, even though the engraving is definitely not up to par with the best Northern contemporary engraving. Still, I liked the overprints, this earlier issue shows the Cotton Pledged overprint, somewhat more secure than the later &quot;Faith of the State&quot; also known as &quot;we really promise double dutch pinky swear...&quot;. This note, while not ABNCo quality, does have deep black ink on solid paper, a red overprint that is very subtle all over the note, the green overprint, nice sharp elegant sigs, and some interesting engraving of a ship, a train, and an Indian Princess. I think I&#039;ll go on over and introduce myself as Chief Howyoudoin&#039;...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]757130[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
