The steamboat at top center heads upriver while trailing voluminous black smoke. Standing Peace and Liberty is at the left. ONE DOLLAR is at the right on a shaded panel. Plate A. We have handled the $2 note from this 1862 series. Noted with "Large Internal Split; Edge Tears and Hinge Repairs." Pleasing overall, and its rarity certainly overcomes any flaws. Ex: Eric P.
