...Interesting. Anyone notice the scribbled face of George Washington on the check? I wonder if Lincoln did that?...That appears to be a stamp. Grants check has a stamp that has a postmark on it. Interesting.

What you’re seeing is a 2 cent tax stamp, similar to a postage stamp, that was mandated on bank checks by the Revenue Act of 1862, in order to finance the Civil War.
