Bradbeer #293  Tall A variety #11574  Ag  June 21, 1862.  Signatures:  RJ Delony / H. Kepler.  Unknown 1863 IP stamp with 2 Jackson Miss 1864 & '65.  (This unknown 1863 exhibits the circular base that is seldom seen with this stamp).  This note is extremely high grade for the variety with Full Frame Line.  It is beyond me why PCGS didn't give this note an UNC grade, but I guess they "netted" the grade because of the ink burn.  I understand the "Apparent" because it does have the tiny ink burn at left signature; but, this is "paper" and it simply can't be graded the same way as rag content notes.  Ink Burn / Erosion is quite common on thesenotes!

Bradbeer #326A  #158597  Y  January 3d, 1863.  Signatures of W.
