Owner's Description

The first issue 5-cent note was initially issued without perforations and cut from the sheet with scissors. To make issuing the notes faster, they started to perforate the sheets, however this complicated the counting of the sheets as they tended to snag and fall apart too easy, so they went back to cutting the notes from the sheet. Perforated notes tend to be easily damaged due to the perfs sticking out. This gem Uncirculated no monogram note features good centering and color. These are scarce and hard to find with good centering. The perfs are good with a few that are a bit short. A very nice overall note with only one note graded better.
