First Issue: Printed 08/21/1862—05/27/1863
Though hastily enacted
and signed into law by President Lincoln on July 17th, 1862, the first
issue of "Postage Currency" was no less artful than the stamps which
their designs were based. In haste to get some change of sorts back
into the marketplace, the government assigned the obverse and reverse
engravings to two different companies, the American and the National
Bank Note Companies. The earliest issues maintained the "perforated"
edges of regular stamps. They were short-lived and therefore more rare—and
today more dear—than the "clean edge variety. They came in 5, 10, 25,
and 50-cent denominations, the 25 and 50-cent examples created by simply
repeating the portrait pattern across the notes. All these issues were
stampted inscribed "Postage Currency" and all following issues
