Product Details

An 1880 Louisiana "Baby Bond" is a historic $5 state-issued note famously designed to resemble a bond in order to avoid a punitive federal tax on state currency during Reconstruction. They earn their nickname from the vignette of a young girl in a bonnet on the front.These notes were created as a clever loophole to circulate money while fooling federal agents.

I am originally from New York but live in Florida now that I am retired. I worked as a civilian employee at an army installation for 35 years. I love collecting and selling silver and gold. Have discovered coin collecting in the process!
