Lexington, MO - Farmers Bank of Missouri, at___$5 18__ MO-15 G44a. Proof. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent.

It is from an earlier series that was also branch payable, but required a commissioner's signature for issuance. A lovely Bald, Cousland & Co. Philada. & New York India paper proof with a delicate, pale orange lace tint. The large white FIVE protector in the bottom half is outlined in a deeper tone. The top corners show \"5\" dies. The wide vignette cupped into the arced title shows Agriculture at left, with a farm scene behind, and Home Industry at right, with a factory building in the distance. In oval frames at the bottom are a boy at left and Washington at right. Plate B. The title embossing seen on the back and its central sheet position (in a $5-$5-$5-$5 array, A-D) indicate this was printed to an original archive book card sheet, and likely came from the 1990 ABN Sale lots. Grading notes \"Small Edge Tears at Top Left\" which are barely seen, except from the back. A premium-quality proof of this type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
