Austin, TX- Consolidated Fund of Texas $500
<B>Austin, TX- Consolidated Fund of Texas</B></I> $500 March 6, 1841 Cr. CF-17/19(?) Medlar UNL, Olson UNL<BR> This intriguing note was of the type issued at Houston, but the city was clearly crossed out and both "Austin" and a new date were written in, indicating that this note was issued after the move of the capital city, but before new plates could be prepared with the city name changed. This appears to be a subvariety of Cr. 19, as is not listed in all three references. Mr. Bond apparently wrote CF11 on the back in pencil, which is correct for the original Houston issues. An interest statement is written in pen at left on this Pen-Cancelled<I> </B></I><B>Fine</B></I> example, with edge roughness noted on three sides, and paper separation noted at center along the folds, which some might mistake for a cut-cancel.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
