per item
Under "Treasury Warrant" the word 'Dues" is misspelled "Deus". I have heard this called the "deuce" note. They are scarce but can be found. This example is one very slight corner fold from Choice UNC. However, even a slight corner fold makes this a Choice AU. Clean, crisp printing and really nice color. Issued from Austin for Civil service.
Another note: There is another word misspelled on 14B notes. Look closely at the word Bearer - it is spelled Beurer. This is not a misprint of the letter "a". The "u" has an upstroke at the top left of the letter. Compare it to a 13 or a 14 which clearly have a distinguishable "a". The "Beurer" misspelling occurs on the 13A Military version of the Deus note as well. That lends to the argument that the 13 & 14 were off of one plate and the 13A & 14A from another.
