Front    Back This note was featured in Bank Note Reporter May 2002.  The actual price of the note was not disclosed because the entire transaction was for two notes.  The second note is also a very interesting specimen.  It was a Type 2 1861 $500 serial #583.  It is interesting to note that a date was placed after Clitherall's signature.  Dates are found next to "C.T. Jones" signatures and this indicates the actual date he signed as well as the interest date .  Thian shows that serial number #577 - #607 have the date of July 23, 1861.  Clitherall resigned as Register on July 16th, 1861.  However, he signed this note on "July 27", or eleven days after officially resigning.  I'll leave it up to the historians to decide the significance of this 'Dated Clitherall Signature' but one thing is certain, this is an extremely interesting discovery note and may be One of a Kind!  The grade of this T-2 specimen is XF/AU. Dated Clitherall CSA $500
