Description
Elusive Montgomery $50
T4 $50 1861 PF-1.A strong central vignette is seen on this scarce Montgomery $50. We do not recall having seen a cancellation on the face of an 1861 Montgomery note, which reads, "Cancelled By, F.H. Hatch Collector N. Orleans." Francis H. Hatch was the collector of customs for the New Orleans Custom House which still stands on Canal Street near the Mississippi River. A large stamp on the back of this note indicates the date this note was received and paid 8 cents in interest at the custom house on June 8th 1861. PMG indicates repairs, which include closed cancellations and strengthening of some of the design elements. The vignette of slaves hoeing cotton remains unaffected by the modifications. PMG Fine 12 Net.
