St. Louis, Missouri (T.) - Missouri Exchange Bank (of Wm. M. O'Hara & Co.) 50 Cents Oct. 1, 1819 MO-35 G8. Proof. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. A second Missouri Exchange Bank 50 cent proof, but a plate A impression. We are uncertain of its prior pedigree, but it looks like the Haxby plate note. This may have been a Vacca duplicate sold in a later NASCA sale, or privately. Equally as rare as the last plate C proof. The only other confirmed 50 cent proof is on the mixed-issuer proof sheet cited in this catalog at the New-York Historical Society. The proof was printed directly to an original card by P. Maverick, Durand & Co., then later mounted to new cardstock. As last, it has a simple style with the title across, FIFTY CENTS above, and large \"50\" underneath. Intricate end panels using Cyrus Durand's early lathe machine patents show, perpendicularly, FIFTY at the left and MISSOURI in a rectangular cartouche at right. The engraved city and date, with space across for the signature, are along the bottom. Plate letter A is tucked between the large numerals. Noted with a \"Small Edge Tear at LL; Minor Stains\" and as \"Mounted on Cardstock.\" These are petty faults and this example is visually attractive. An extremely rare proof printed by a rarely encountered imprint. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
