First Liberty Loan 3 1/2% Gold Bond of 1932-47 $50 S/N 696383 Issued June 15, 1917. Very Fine. Originally issued in booklet form with 60 interest coupons. This initial example was to stir the hearts of "American's All" to back our Doughboys in the trenches while they fought off the Kaiser! Our example here has 40 coupons or (2) attached pages of 20 coupons each, followed by the bond. These bonds were the first in a series of five main issues that funded 2/3rds of the financial cost for the United States participation in the First World War of 1914-1918, once America entered the War in the Spring of 1917. A couple of water stains are located on coupons 22 and 23 as well as left of middle on the body of the bond itself. The Joe I. Herbstman Collection of American Finance cites that, for this bond, there are less than 30 examples known.
