US Bank Note Issues

The Bank Notes issues replaced the smaller and poorly gummed series of 1869. The stamps of this issue were printed by three different companies, the National Bank Note Company (1870-1871), the Continental Bank Note Company (1873-1879) and the American Bank Note Company (1879-1893). The larger stamps featured the likeness of prominent deceased Americans and were roughly 50% larger than the previous issue.
