Fr. 1230 5¢ First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. So-called Postage Currency was issued from August, 1862 until May, 1863 in response to a nationwide coin shortage and the resulting issue of a flood of private scrip notes made in an attempt to facilitate day-to-day commerce. Images of then-current postage stamps (or multiples thereof) appeared on the faces of each denomination and the value of the note appeared in a medallion on the back. This straight edge example with the ABNCo monogram appearing on the back is well printed on bright paper with decent margins. HID08101242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
