拍品描述： United States of America. Consol of 1867, per Acts of May 3, 1865 and April 12, 1866. $10000 6% Registered Consol of 1867 Bond. Hessler X150F. Issued and Cancelled. Fine.The second denomination of these 1867 Consols from the Herzog Collection and a great rarity. Though cancelled, this is quite impressive, as it is the highest denomination from the series. Hessler plates a Specimen example with a Treasury Seal at the lower left. Engraved and printed on bond paper at the Treasury Department, their imprint at the top. 32.0cm by 19.5cm. Green frame surrounds titles and text. Face color and style as the $1000 bond. At top center, titled image of the United States Treasury Building. Green 10.000 protector. Transfer back framed in blue. Plate C. No. 286. A fully issued and transferred bond. Issued August 8, 1868 to the Peoples Bank of the City of New York. Single hole cancel. Transferred in 1869 by Peoples and signed by Hunter (his portraits appeared on their earlier obsolete notes). Several nicks or small chips off the edges, glue strip remnant on the back side edges. Some scattered small tack holes. Vibrant overall. This bond was bought by Peoples Bank, but not to back their direct National Bank note circulation as they were not chartered. However, the former private bankers were backers of at least one other local bank that issued Nationals. The offered bond is of a significant high denomination that was apparently kept by the Treasury, with pencil notation on the back to that effect. Once again, its importance cant be overstated for its fiscal relevance and rarity as a Federal currency related bond.From the John E. Herzog Collection.
