Clintonville, MO - Vickers & Adcock \"presented to us at Clintonville or Montevallo\" 50 Cents May 23, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This appears to be a unique Civil War-period note payable in \"Confederate Notes or Missouri State Bonds.\" The currency issued in the turbulent southwest Confederate areas of Missouri contrasts heavily with notes printed in the Union areas, which had access to printers in St. Louis or New York with superior paper and printing supplies. Clintonville was in Cedar County, near the Vernon County border to the west while Montevallo was in Vernon County (which bordered the Indian Territory), but further south. This locally printed note without imprint is on fairly sturdy, thin brown paper. At each end are flourished borders to enclose the obligation and titles. City and date are at the top. At upper left is a \"50/100\" counter. A bolded FIFTY CENTS is across over the obligation, and the signature area is below. Noted with \"Small Splits; Missing UL Corner.\" This is a very presentable rarity and one of few Missouri issuers observed in the Confederate-controlled areas. Ex: Eric P.
