***Auction Highlight*** Rare $2 1860’s Merchant’s Bank Note from Trenton NJ General Winfield Scott Graded F12 By PMG. note I found one currently on eBay, raw in g/vg condition for $999 - The Merchants' Bank was a short-lived affair, only remaining in business from 1861-62. The vignettes selected for its notes were certainly in keeping with the events of the day, with President Lincoln appearing on the $1 and Commanding General of the United States Army, Winfield Scott appearing on the $2. Scott had retired from his command only three weeks or so before these notes were issued
