Boonville, MO - Bank of St. Louis (2nd), at their Bank at Boonville $10 Oct. 4, 1858 MO-50 G28b SENC. PCGS Fine 15. This is certainly one of the amazing Missouri issued notes from the Newman Collection, and it has graced Eric's cabinet for decades. There is only a $5 Boonville branch note listed in Haxby (MO-50 G24c). In 1861, $134,000 of specie was seized by the Union army from the pro-Southern branch; the army placed it in the care of an express company until they were able to return the funds to the main bank in St. Louis. The condition for an issued note the bank and type is excellent. The layout design and tinting is spectacular. The original plate was engraved by Danforth, Perkins & Co., New-York & Philada. and has the full American Bank Note Company imprint added at the bottom. The bright green tint is a shade not often seen on many Obsolete note series. This lovely note shows a wide vignette of a riverboat laden with cargo above the bank title. Oval portraits are in the lower corners: at left, a young woman adorned with flowers; at right, an older man, used by the bank and presumably an officer. The unusual full green tint snowflake pattern is seen only on this issuer. The title, protector \"TEN\" and upper counters are outlined in white, which differs from earlier notes with solid green across those areas. Plate D. No. 760. Although the signatures of the cashier and commissioner are difficult to decipher, the \"Jno. J. Anderson\" of the bank president is clear. A solid example that exhibits strong color through some normal soiling. The branch location or type was not in Vacca. Exceedingly rare and likely unique for the type from this branch. Ex: Eric P.
