Up for sale is an authentic 1862 $3 Missouri obsolete currency note, issued in Jefferson City during the Civil War. Odd denominations like this $3 are highly collectible and rarely surface, making it a true conversation piece for any collection.

What makes this note stand out:

• Civil War era issue – dated January 1, 1862

• Rare odd denomination – the unusual $3 note

• Crude Civil War printing – bold green “THREE” overprint with heavy ink bleed-through visible on the back

• Hand-trimmed cut – uneven border and partial wording clipped on the reverse, showing how hastily these notes were produced during wartime shortages

• 160+ years old – a real survivor of the 1860s financial chaos

Condition: Well-circulated with folds, edge wear, discoloration, and paper loss at the corners. Despite its wear, the major design elements are visible, and the note tells the story of its rough handling and crude production.

💎 Perfect for Civil War collectors, obsolete currency enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the rare and unusual denominations that tell America’s financial story.
