The note depicts the portrait of Edwin M. Stanton who was Secretary of War under Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. He supported Breckenridges candidacy for President in 1860, and was suspicious of Lincoln, but knew how to get the job done, and fast. He believed in obeying the law, even when he did not agree with it. He also tried to impeach when Johnson ordered his removal as Secretary of War. This is one of the lowest serial numbers in the census for this series. Serial #1 is known, but is a lower grade. Serials beginning with 108 seem to run through 128, of high grade notes. Of course, not all are reported. There were 3,948,000 notes printed. The note offered here is a beauty that has brilliant colors, excellent embossing and broad margins that exemplify the type. Graded Gem UNC 65 EPQ by PMG.
