I guess it have to be this 1862 Fractional note

 

Its close, but it is this obsolete.



Here is a closeup of the vignette

 

The oldest I could find of the same basic design, but from a different bank, was signed and dated 1805. I don't have any reference books on obsoletes but i'm sure someone will know. Nice note.

 

Thanks ,that's older then I thought.
I have no references on New England Notes,R.I. to compare with.Bought in an Australian Auction long time ago & don't have the Catalog Listing description.

 

Very nice fractional.

 

You are sending mixed messages - you are asking for "US Note" but showing this picture. "US Note" has specific meaning in this forum, you know. It is not an equivalent to "US paper money".

 

Note/paper Money/any us currency , MPCs ,sorry for the confusion.I'll edit the post so there is no mistaken "mixed Messages". Just thought it would be nice to see some older (all of the above).

 

1775 $5 bill authorized by the Continental Congress

 

1862 $1 Note

 

1859 Obsolete Bank Note

 

1969 $1 Rainbow Note
(These are my oldest 4 notes!)

Well I have nothing prior to a $2 Series 1917 note, but I've been following along as I knew this thread would fill up with some amazing pieces. Beautiful examples. I really like the reverse of the TWO note Rick. Glad to see you dropped by tonight also. :smile
