Treasurer of the United States John Burke (1913-21) autographed this $2 Silver to the immediate right of Treasurer of the United States D.N. Morgan's (1893-97) engraved signature. A closer look at the life of this great note with a great provenance uncovers the fact that it was lot 984 in the second installment of the auction of the Albert Grinnell Collection that was held on March 10, 1945. Auctioneer and cataloguer Barney Bluestone described it as "very rare indeed" on page 125. It later became the plate note in all six editions (1968-79) of United States Large Size Paper Money 1861 to 1863 by William P. Donlon. Mr. Donlon started his own auction company in 1971, and in Donlon's first auction on May 22, 1971, he devoted an entire section of his notes for sale that had been plated in various reference books.
