TIM NV COUNTERPART Fifty DOLLAR LEGAL TENDER
NoTE-A late issue from the graver and press Of the
counerfeers Of United States legal tender currency of
the denomination Of fifty dollars is the most difficult of
detection OF any which has Of late been prepared II
thus Observation-Disclosures apparently but two dis.
crcpanccs between the genuine the spurious notes
that Will be apparent to the public One Of them is in
that part oil the engraving of the head Of Hamilton
upon the face OF the note which represents the line Of
the waiscoat crossing the white collar the The
1t shown s perfect in the counterfeit note but the
genuine the lines of the flesh drawn by the engaver
.ne point OF the collar AZ It's junction with the
sharpness II would otherwise have exhibited Is diff
Terence not readily observed unless the note is per
fecty clean Tho other discrepancy in the shape Of
the ornaments in the border each end Of the face
the bills, and IN The whole border the back. The
figures $50 are engraved a green ground Of
which the rim In the genuine bill is in octagonal FORM
rather well defined, though the angles sharp.
@ ~ a. s view s chr
border ornaments containing the 's50 octagonal
in only very slight degree and seem TO be perfect
cTcies Tho general appearance of the counterfeit gives
no indication Of its true character II would be the
safest course to pursue in regsrd 70 these particular
reissne to take their place.
