{"title":"Obsolete Currency","description":"\u003cspan\u003eFrom the latter part of the 1700’s through the early 1870’s obsolete currency (often referred to as Broken Bank Notes) came from many sources, i.e.; States, Counties, Municipalities, Military, Banks, Corporations, and Private Merchants. Most people don’t realize that before the U.S. Government started regulating the banking industry in 1861, the aforementioned entities printed their own money, providing collectors with many different themes and varieties. There are many types and choices -- collectors can focus on notes with a certain vignette (picture or scene), a particular State, City, or Bank. Some collectors focus on notes with bridges, signatures, cattle, horses, whales, or ships, etc, and yes, even Santa Claus! Obsolete bank notes are absolutely beautiful in artistic design and coloring. Depending on the grade (condition) many of these types can be fairly inexpensive and are readily available. Every paper money collector should have at least one piece of obsolete currency in their collection! There are many different references for individual states currency and they can be found online from various publishers and book dealers. For Southern States currency, I highly recommend “Guide Book of Southern States Currency” by Hugh Shull, published by Whitman Publishing Company.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"north-carolina-greensboro-mutual-1-1859","title":"North Carolina-Greensboro, Greensboro' Mutual $1, 1859","description":"\u003cp\u003eNorth Carolina-Greensboro, Greensboro' Mutual $1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApril 1, 1859\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: VF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOBC-1300\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RR Coins and Currency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41407527387270,"sku":"OBC-1300","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2794\/6020\/files\/Scan_20241024.jpg?v=1729794448"},{"product_id":"iowa-dubuque-the-dubuque-western-rail-road-company-10-1858","title":"Iowa-Dubuque, The Dubuque Western Rail Road Company $10, 1858","description":"\u003cp\u003eIowa-Dubuque, The Dubuque Western Rail Road Company $10, 1858\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall pinhole near center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned by Wallace \u0026amp; Longworth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#2937\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: VF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOBC-1301\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RR Coins and Currency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41407528534150,"sku":"OBC-1301","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2794\/6020\/files\/Scan_20241024_3.jpg?v=1729794973"},{"product_id":"utah-salt-lake-city-bishops-general-store-house-10-1898","title":"Utah-Salt Lake City, Bishop's General Store House 10¢, 1898","description":"\u003cp\u003eUtah-Salt Lake City, Bishop's General Store House 10¢, 1898\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: VF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOBC-1302\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RR Coins and Currency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41407543443590,"sku":"OBC-1302","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2794\/6020\/files\/Scan_20241024_a5fb04d0-89ec-478c-89b9-9bef05f18263.jpg?v=1729796163"},{"product_id":"columbia-south-carolina-state-of-south-carolina-revenue-bond-scrip-5-1872","title":"Columbia-South Carolina, State of South Carolina Revenue Bond Scrip $5, 1872","description":"\u003cp\u003eColumbia-South Carolina, State of South Carolina Revenue Bond Scrip $5, 1872\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#2539\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: CU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOBC-1303\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RR Coins and Currency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41407557435526,"sku":"OBC-1303","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2794\/6020\/files\/Scan_20241024_3_e20bac4f-27bc-475e-bcd6-c070f08da1da.jpg?v=1729797174"},{"product_id":"massachusetts-sutler-h-b-sheldon-1-1860s","title":"Massachusetts, Sutler: H.B.
