Own a genuine Bank Check issued shortly after the Civil War. It prominently displays the issuing financial institution.

In order to prevent counterfeiting, this check has an orange image of George Washington. The two-cent denomination is proof of the payment of a Revenue Tax required for each bank check.
This Bank Check is a neat piece of history and would make a fun addition to your collection. Order Yours Today.
*Your document will have one or two small imperfections that don't detract from its beauty or collectibility, but do save you money off the catalog value!
