That link explains it very well. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Union Trust Company was organized c. 1913 and was in business as late as</p><p>1931. In 1914, J. H. Staley was president and J. C.

It is possible the</p><p>change occurred in the mid-20’s after Treasury Department opposition to bank</p><p>issuance of a monetary token. This counterstamp is frequently misinterpreted as</p><p>standing for the Confederate States of America.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
