1870 Cr.51 $3 The State of Mississippi - Jackson, MISSISSIPPI Note
1870 Cr.51 $3 The State of Mississippi note from Jackson, MS.
The 1870 series of certificates was authorized by "an act to provide for the issuance of certificates of indebtedness by the state and for other purposes" which was approved on June 13, 1870, just months after Mississippi was readmitted into the Union. They were to be accepted for all state dues and were convertible into 8% state bonds, redeemable annually for five years beginning in 1872 with a special tax being levied to redeem them.
This striking black and green example features a Vignette of a large blockade runner at the center. On the left is a portrait of Auditor of Public Accounts, Henry Musgrove. On the right is a Vignette of an Eagle perched on a Federal shield.
This note grades Very Fine with some pinholes and a hole-out cancellation with tears.
