St. Louis, (M.T.) - St. Louis & Illinois Team Boat Ferry 75 Cents Undated (Ca. 1819-21). Remainder. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. A second and apparently highest denomination from this very rare territorial period scrip. Unsigned, like all examples we have seen. This denomination would pay the fare for two \"other cattle.\" Printed by P. Maverick, Durand & Co., with the imprint at the lower left in the common layout for all denominations. Titles are at the top, a large \"75\" is in the center, and SEVENTY FIVE CENTS is across. The obligation underneath states: \"in payment of ferriage or redeemed / at the St. Louis Exchange & Land office / in Notes current at Bank of Missouri.\" Lathe work ends show ILLINOIS at left and MISSOURI at right. Noted with \"Edge Tears and Minor Damage; Backed.\" This was the first note from the issuer Eric obtained and has been in his collection for decades. The 50 cents was acquired at an unknown later time. This faces up well despite some faults in the paper. In addition to this example, and one formerly in the Western Reserve collection, Eric was aware of only one other 75-cent note when he compiled Missouri note censuses years ago. Rare, early, and with an interesting title. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. \n\n
