1837 Phenix Bank $1 Remainder - CH 590-10-02-06R, unsigned and not numbered, check letter B. A very rare spurious bank note from the time of the 1837-39 rebellions. During much of this time specie payment was suspended and a number of phantom banks sprang up to take advantage of the confusion. All notes of the Phenix Bank, issued or remainders, are extremely rare, but remarkably inexpensive in relation to their rarity. This note is new to the registry, and only the fourth known $1 remainder note. It is stained, particularly on the back, but otherwise a nice Fine.
