NORTH CAROLINA. W. Shelburn, Sutler [to the] Camp Fourth Brigade N.[orth] C. [arolina] T.[roops]....NORTH CAROLINA. W. Shelburn, Sutler [to the] Camp Fourth Brigade N.[orth] C. [arolina] T.[roops]. Fifty Cents. 'June, 1863'. Printed on brown rag paper. 122mm by 62mm. Identical diagnostics to the last. Ornate and reversed end panels with dual line top frame lines. At the top center, a linear ''swirl'' flanked by solid '50' counters. In Gothic across the top center 'Camp Fourth Brigade N.C.T.', date below. Below large 'FIFTY CENTS' and fine text underneath 'This Note will be received for goods or redeemed in current/funds in like sums on presentation'. Space for the 'Sutler' signature below. No imprint. Keller NC-SA050. Rarity 7.

Fully signed and issued, and like the previous note, the signature is a trifle weak. The lower right corner of the sheeting with very wide margins on the bottom and right, narrow on the top and left. These notes may have been printed in sheets of four with two Twenty-Five Cents (listed) on the top and two Fifty Cents notes on the bottom. Seeing a complete sheet of these would create one or two heart attacks if ever such a dream came true. Fine or better. A solid enough note with strong paper. There is a body hole at the left in the 'I' of 'FIFTY'. Trimmed in at the upper left and pressed at Barrows. A second and perhaps last opportunity for many years.
