Lot Title:
|
State of Missouri $1000 1853 issue bond signed by Sterling Price
|
|
Description:
|
Tush Acreage Estate. Sterling Price was Governor of the State of Missouri at the time he signed this bond. Price later became a Confederate general, perhaps as a result of his upbringing in Virginia, when the Civil War tore the nation asunder. Missouri was THE border state that both sides coveted, and Price had been an advocate of slavery during his office, yet he also denounced cries to separate the union into two different entities. After a checkered and uneven record as a general in the war, Sterling Price returned to Missouri in 1866 to live in St. Louis and the following year.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
