with mild to moderate seven vertical folds. Hammer perfectly canceled
no missing pieces. Very boldly executed Clitherall firms
and Elmore. In the two runs back in pencil lightly, stamp
hinges behind the cancellation, and a spot insignificant water. None
of this is distracting, and have no impact on the election
appearance of the note when viewed from the front. Great visual appeal,
with the bright green color, razor sharp images and black text and a large
and even margins on all four sides. Strictly original without repairs
or “ conservation''often found in Type 1 Confederate notes. This
is a note that would fit well in almost any museum quality
CSA paper money collection. VF, CC. Ironically, the first

Mr. Elmore fire was not a man can play. Mr. Daniels, the
editor of a Richmond newspaper, wrote an article claiming that Elmore
was a compulsive gambler who is embezzling large sums from the Treasury.
Elmore immediately challenged Daniels to a duel and shot him! This
Criswell extraordinary Type-1 has never been offered publicly or
recorded in any census, have been collected and probably decades before
Confederation rare paper currency is considered particularly
valuable. This may explain the fact that, besides having been
carefully removed from the two hinges holding a stamp album

premium supply.
