1870 Hagerstown MD Bank Checks

Profile picture for user kbarnette
By kbarnette, 6 May, 2015
Description

4 1870 Hagerstown MD Bank Checks (can't make out who payable to) but checks are paid out for $1000, $100, $38, and $9.  They have  a vignette of an allegorical woman, blowing a horn on a globe and another vignette of the bank. These is a revenue stamp affixed to the check.  So not sure what the value would be.  If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

Re: 1870 Hagerstown MD Bank Checks

hello -- as you note, you have a series of paid checks with hand-cancelled US revenue stamps.  It is very, very important that you research the names on the checks, especially given values this large ($1000 and $100) during this era.  Unlike some other stamps, stamp collectors often like used (on cover), hand cancelled, and afixed early revenue stamps.  This is how I prefer to by them, BTW, and sell them easily when I have them.  Your lot of four documents with 19th century revenues is worth approximately $16 - $20 (with signees unknown).
