This one was issued for $5.00 and has the printed date of December 1st 1873. The note has the central vignette that shows the "Sweet Potato" scene. This is depicted from the Revolutionary War dinner served to British General Gates. When served a dinner by U.S. General Francis Marion that included sweet potatoes Gates sent a letter back to England that stated. "We'll never get them to surrender as they live on tree roots in the swamps." The note is printed using the green and black ink. The note is in nice circulated condition. When you hold the note up to the light you can see the "X" slices in the paper. This is the "Cut Cancellation" marking that lets us know the note was taken out of circulation by the state.
