Another Early Confederate Note

Steve writes:

T3 $100 1861 PF-1 Cr. 3 PMG Extremely Fine 40.
The story of the Montgomery CSA notes is well known, but can be briefly recounted. The so-called Montgomery notes were originally ordered by the Confederacy, using an agent in New York, G.B. Lamar, before the war started. Lamar placed the order with ABNCo who, in order to expedite deliveries, subcontracted the Treasury Note portion of the order which included other fiscal instruments to National Bank Note Company. National, using pre-war vignettes, shipped 607 four subject sheets to Montgomery before the war started. It is interesting to note that National took some amount of care and time to "defederalize" the shield leaning by America at left by reducing the number of vertical bars appearing on it to three from the prewar number of thirteen. This note, which bears the second lowest serial number, 12, was issued from Montgomery on April 5, 1861; one of only 19 $100s and 5 $50s issued on that day, the first day of issue for Montgomery notes. This beautiful note has great paper and design details that retain their original bright color. Margins are also quite acceptable, with just the right margin being trimmed just into the design. The note is free of repairs and meaningful impairments, with PMG mentioning only a few closed pinholes. A desirable and historic piece of Confederate monetary history.
