Roanoke, Alabama. W.V. Thomason & Co. 1862 75 Cents. PMG Choice Fine 15. Rosene-Unlisted. July 1, 1862. Steamer at top. Farmer at left. The obligation shows this is payable in "current Bank or Confederate Treasury Notes…" Wesley V. Thomason is listed as a grocer in the 1860 census for Roanoke. Thomason was also appointed Postmaster of Roanoke on July 15, 1858. While Rosene lists the issuer, he does not list this denomination, and this is the first example we have sold of any denomination. A detailed search of auction records from the past couple of decades shows that this is the only 75 Cent note of the few that we can locate. Excessively rare.
