Fouth Issue Fifty Cent Note

Bust of Edwin M. Stanton

Born 1814, died 1869, Was AS Tough As He Looks and Servied As Secretary Of War Through Most Of The Civil War And Reconstruction. Effective And Tenacious, He Was Often At Odds With First Lincoln, Then With President Andrew Johnson. Once, When Johnson Attempted To Remove Stanton From His Cabinet Position, Stanton Literally Barricaded Himself In His Office To Prevent The News From Reaching Him.

It's kept from a higher grade by a minute pin hole hidden in the lower right corner graphic and a couple of soft corner creases that don't intrude into the design. Allso, the small red seal on the front shows as no more than a pale yellow ghost of  a normal seal. Error? Cleaning attempts usually don't target such small, vital areas. Anyone with knowledge of this please feel free to enlighen us.
Lots of blue and fibers.
