Description
Selma, AL- Bank of Selma $100 Apr. 4, 1862 Rosene 292-5 PCGS Very Fine 25.The Bank of Selma was incorporated in 1859 and survived the Civil War before closing its doors on August 11, 1868. Most of the bank's notes were burned on April 2, 1865 to prevent them from falling into Union hands when the city fell. The intaglio style of this note reflects the re-use of old dies or a reworked plate removed from the New Orleans office of Rawdon, Wright & Hatch / ABNCo (Southern Bank Note Company). Eventually, the plate or dies were sent to Leggett, Keatinge & Ball, Richmond, Virginia for creating this rare late type. This is one of the last intaglio printed Confederate era obsolete banknotes and is hand-dated April 4, 1862. A classic Moneta, Griffin & Mercury vignette is at top center. At the left is a classical rendition of Washington standing, and at the right a classical Liberty standing with a cornucopia. The rich orange protector HUNDRED and dual "100" dies are most impressive. Only about five or six of these historic and attractive notes have survived, with this being one of the nicest.
