1840 $1000 Bank of the United States Note
This is a $1000 bank note from the Bank of the United States, dated December 15, 1840, which preceded the Civil War by two decades. It features the portraits of six prominent statesmen. Its condition is very good, and shows age toning. This note comes mounted on ivory matte board, in a gold painted wood frame measuring 5 3/4" x 9 1/4".
1840 was during the period of the Second bank of the United States, and this note will be great for any collector.*This note has not been examined outside the frame. It comes from the Manno estate, and was purchased in Louisiana 35 years ago from a seller who presented it as authentic.
