[QUOTE="delphizealot, post: 644651, member: 19728"]The backs all have a star pattern, with the 1 and 3 in red and the 500 in orange. The paper feels thin, with not much texture. Also, oddly, it looks like the signatures, dates (except for the '18') and serial numbers are written by hand, as the ink looks darker there. The 1 has a serial number 2150 and there is a handwritten forward diagonal slash to the upper left of the "No." marking. I can't make out the month and day (illegible handwriting), but the year is 1840. The engraver is marked as Endicott & Clark New Orleans The 3 has a serial number 383. It's dated Sept 1, 1841. Also has Endicott & Clark New Orleans. The 500 has a serial number 1381. It's dated Jun 1, 1840. The top says "Receivable for all government dues." and the engravers are marked as Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson New Orleans and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch New-York. [ATTACH]53068.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
