Here's an item I found in the bottom of a box from a collection I bought a while back. The stamp is off center, but what a check! It's also a very nice cancel. What I don't know is whether the date is of any significance.
First issues were used from July 1, 1862 until mid 1871 more or less, so 1868 is later mid period. Pretty certificate, but the date is not particularly important.
I thank everyone for their comments. I had not realized there was a difference between checks and certificates of deposit, nor had I caught the leap year date on the reverse side. I like this item even more now
Different dates for the stamp and the instrument are not all that unusual, although most of the time the instrument is before the stamp rather then after.
