  I'm not sure we what a "bond note" is but that is an interest coupon from a $100 bond. It shows the date of the act that authorized it but the bond was presumably issued later.

  It's a very rare coupon from an 1865 $100 United States 6% bond.

  Later bond coupons from the late 19th and early 20th century show up from time to time but earlier ones, like this are rarer. I believe that they still remain redeemable and this accounts for their rarity.

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

  That is so cool! Do you have any idea of its' value? I would love to send it to PMG. Do you know if they certify these coupons?
