PMG About Uncirculated 55 Tallahassee was the last confederate capitol ‘hold-out’ as the war of Northern Agression, aka the Civil War, was coming to its climax. The 1865 $500 is the key to the Florida Civil War State Note series. Benice estimates that only 380 $500s were printed and less than half that number issued. The Benice reference gives this a rarity level of R7 indicating on 4-12 examples remain.
