<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foreverEBG, post: 2336680, member: 73517&quot;]This is a really cool piece being on the eastern sea board and mid-atlantic I&#039;ve seen a few when I worked at the local coin shop. In my opinion the two notes that were cut off were from the &quot;broken bank&quot; era circa 1857. Leading up to the civil war a lot of banks literally went broke and the unissued money was no good so when the states broke off and the CSA instituted the unissued notes from the former banks were used and printed the opposite direction as to not cause confusion. After the CW since CSA notes were literally worthless business owners would print advertisemnts for their business and distribute the CSA notes with their ad as a form of advertising. Who doesn&#039;t like getting money? The coolest example I&#039;ve seen was a antique dealer from 1870&#039;sto1880&#039;s printed on the back of a either 50 or 100 CSA bill; can&#039;t remember which though. That&#039;s definitely a keeper in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
