Description

Bond
$1000 Treasury of the United States Register's Office. Loan Certificate. 4 1/2%. June 28, 1795 (1796). Hessler-X54 Replacement Certificate. PMG Certified.
Here is a very special piece of both numismatic and financial history, that would be equally at home stored in a safety deposit box or displayed in a Wall Street curio cabinet. A bond issue created from an act by the First Congress of the United States that made further provisions for the support of public credit and also for the redemption of the public debt. It is notarized by Robert Henry Dunkin, which the public seal can be seen at lower left. Register signature of Josephs Nourse, whom was the military secretary of General Charles Lee during the Revolutionary War. This example has been certified, and encapsulated but not graded by PMG.
Estimate: $6000 - $8000
