This is an original 1862 dated Civil War issued $50.00 note
from the state of Mississippi. In the center of the note it has the large "50"
printing in blue ink. It also has the steam train going down the tracks. On the
right hand side of the note it has the likeness of the Goddess Industry seated
with the large gear and sickle. On the left hand side of the note it has the
image of Ceres kneeling by the Indian. It is hand signed and dated November 1st
1862. The note is in nice, circulated condition as you can see in the pictures and
displays well. This is the version with the blue ink "FAITH OF THE STATE PLEDGED"
over printing on the face of the note. This wording is a good bit tougher to
find than the usual "Cotton Pledged" style. The overall size of the note
measures 7-1/2ths inches by 3 inches. On the reverse of the note has a tape
repair to the center. It comes in an acid free holder for display and
preservation.
