Adams The coupons are signed by a Name that I cannot identify. The provenance of this bond is as follows. A hand written note, from my father, was attached to the back of the frame which held this bond. The note stated this was given to my uncle in 1971 by my great grandmother. My great grandmother lived from 11/10/1854 -4/10/1939. Please see attached high resolution Photo for depiction of condition. There are no folds except the horizontal edges which were folded approximately 1/2 inch, to fit in the frame. The top edge is folded 1 3/4, again to fit the frame. Since the provenance is established by my father’s hand written note, my presumption is that qualifies this as uncirculated. Collectors, please correct me if this is incorrect.
