Picked this one up from a dealer in Ashland, MA for a song. According to the population report only seven are graded, four finer.

    I love gun money. It served two purposes.

    That it did, like interest bearing bonds today.

    Yes, gun money is fascinating and maybe the lowest cost available form of siege money?

    If we post a banknote on the coin side, they get offended and tell us it's in the wrong category. I enjoy seeing interesting items, here, too, even if it's not a banknote.

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.

    Neat coin. Love that they have a month and year for which they could be redeemed.

    What was the name of the song? :)
