Hello and welcome to thisauction. I am not a dealer. I am a collector like those of you viewing this auction. I am thinning out my banknote collection to help pay my son’s college tuition costs. I collected many of my southern states obsolete banknotes during the 1980s, but now is the time to let them go to the collections of others. I primarily sell records (LPs and 45 RPM), but know about the banknotes I have and the grading condition of the notes. THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS BANKNOTE. In this auction: · $3 Merchants and Planters Bank, State of Georgia Banknote · Obsolete banknote with printed date of “June 4, 1859”. · PRE-CIVIL WAR ERA BANKNOTE · RARE $3 DENOMINATION BANKNOTE · Center vignette features paddlewheel steamship. · Oval portrait of U.S. statesman Henry Clay at lower right · Seal of the State of Georgia at bottom center · Printing on banknote reads that it is a Savannah bank · Engraver: Bald, Cousland, & Co., Philadelphia, Baldwin, Bald, & Cousland, New York · Plain Back · Condition: Very Good (There are several very tiny pinholes primarily in the center area of the note, but only visible using back lighting.)
