Kansas City, MO - Union Bank of Missouri, at their Bank in Kansas City $10 Sept. 4, 1859 MO-65 G30a SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25. The third example from this fabulous quartet of issued branch-payable notes is unconfirmed and also, likely a unique piece. Kansas City Obsolete notes are rare, and this is especially desirable being from a large city and not a frontier locale. All notes from the branch are SENC in Haxby. It is also in exceptional condition, making it a miracle of survival. The combination of rarity, location, beauty, and condition will make this appealing to many bidders. Printed by the American Bank Note Company with a tremendously beautiful layout. This is the listed Haxby design type 10Aa. (reported in Gwynne & Day, later on the Wismer list). Ensconced in a niche at the left end is the Freedom statue, which tops the U.S. Capitol dome. Counters with bright vermillion surrounds are at the top next to cherubs, and \"X\" protectors are below. Under the curving title is a dual vignette with a male portrait, which matches the $5 note from the series, in an oval superimposed over a wharf scene. Plate B. No. 263. Signed by J. B. Oates as cashier and W. H. Barksdale as bank president. Geo. Penn signs as the \"ass't\" bank commissioner at the upper left. One of the finest Missouri notes in the entire Newman Collection. The highest bidder will acquire an Obsolete currency prize worthy of a museum. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
