A member of a paper money forum pointed out a detail on a bank check I had posted there and totally overlooked. This check was issued July 2, 1898 and sports a 2-cent battleship revenue. The tax on checks was only re-introduced the previous day and only the larger banks had the battleships in stock at the time. I'd be interested in learning the relative scarcity and value of this early issuance.
