Here is a very nice original Civil War dated $2.00 note
issued by the Mississippi Central Railroad company. It has the clear and
printed date of issuance of January
1st 1862 at the top along with the location of issuance
of Holly Springs, Mississippi. Down towards the bottom it states
that it is "payable in Confederate States notes" which is a neat touch on an
already great note. In the center of the top of the note it has the image of a
steam train on the tracks. It still has the red overprint on the front. This
was added to help aid in the prevention of counterfeit notes. It is correctly
hand signed and number in old ink. The note measures 7 inches by 2-7/8ths
inches in overall size. The note is in very nice circulated condition and is
100% authentic. It comes in an acid free holder for display and preservation.
