Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Original 1840’s store script made for Herman Ely of “Elyria, Ohio”. The “Two Dollar” script was never signed and issued. Termed a remainder it was engraved and printed by “S. Stiles, Sherman & Smith – N.Y.”. Prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, the Federal government had issued currency only on a sporadic basis, choosing instead to rely on specie (gold and silver) to circulate as a median of exchange. Local institutions, to help alleviate periodic shortages of specie and to facilitate commerce, issued various types of paper money to be redeemed for coins at a later date. The success of these issues varied, with some institutions redeeming the majority of their currency, while others closed their doors and left their customers holding worthless pieces of paper. The note will be shipped in a protective sleeve with a dated, hand signed Letter of Authenticity with a photograph of the currency above. All of the artifacts on our site are guaranteed to be original Civil War issue or as stated. Please see our "About Collectors Frame”, below the reviews on the front page, for more information on the framing and artifacts. 4619
