JIM F. Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've never seen anything like that. Looks like a 19th century version of a money order, that was never cashed. I would think not too many uncashed ones exist. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 These were a means to make small mail order purchases without including cash. Checking accounts were relatively exopensive to maintain and each check was charged a clearing house fee, so they were only used for large purchases. Some coin collectors paid for proof sets of minor coins purchased form the mint with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
