relieving the angle of the sharpness il
would otherwise have exhibited. This
difference is not readily observed unless
the notes are perfectly clean. The other
discrepancy is in the shape ct the orna-
ments in the border on each eId oil the
face Of the bills, and in the whole border
on the back. The figures $50" are en-
graved on green ground, Of which the
rim, in the genuine bill, is in octagonal
form, rather well defined, though The an
giles are not sharp. The eight sides of
what at first view appeared TO be circles,
may be easily discerned. In the counter
felt bill the border ornaments, containing
the 80" are octagonal in only very
slight degree, and seem to be perfect cir
cles. The general appearance of the
counterfeits gives no indication Of its true
character.
