Houston, TX- Government of Texas $5 June. 1,
<B>Houston, TX- Government of Texas</B></I> $5 June. 1, 1838 Cr. H16 Medlar 59<BR> Sam Houston had an old wrist wound flare-up from military service with Andrew Jackson in the Creek War and he was unable to use his right hand. Therefore, the Texas Congress authorized William G. Cooke to sign notes for him. This is a tougher denomination for this issue. Government of Texas notes are more elusive than their Republic counterparts. There is some soiling on the back and the edges are nice for the grade. <B>Fine,</B></I> CC.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
