Searcy, Arkansas. H.K. Abernathy. 1862. $1. PMG Very Fine 25.Rothert 597-3. Sept. 1862. Vignette of sailor boy at left and dog at center. All denominations of this series share the same vignettes. Redemption clause states Redeemable in Confederate Notes or Arkansas War Bonds. The Rothert Plate Note found on page 218. Signed and issued by H.K. Abernathy. A very scarce example and the first of any type that we have sold from this central Arkansas locale, which serves as the county seat of White County. The Civil War battle of Whitneys Lane was fought nearby. This note originally came from the family of a Civil War soldier who enlisted in Arkansas. A note that is sure to press the thousand-dollar barrier as it has done in the past.
