| Opmerkingen |
Summit County Bank operated out of Akron, Ohio, and like dozens of Ohio state-chartered banks in the early 1860s, it leaned on fractional denominations when federal coin disappeared almost entirely from circulation after mid-1862. Hoarding was immediate and near-total once the war began driving up metal prices — even copper cents vanished. Small-denomination scrip from local banks briefly filled that void before postage currency and the federal fractional notes pushed most of it out.
A.S. Sanford was a minor Cleveland job printer, not a specialist security engraver. Notes from this shop lack the intricate lathe work of contemporaries like Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, making them comparatively easier to counterfeit — a real concern at the time.
