St. Louis, (M.T) - Bank of Missouri $3 Sept. 3, 1817 MO-30 G18a. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. A second Bank of Missouri $3 denomination with the iconic custom vignette and Chouteau signature. In the same layout and style by Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co., but with a much earlier date and initial signature combination for the bank. The Jefferson bust vignette is at top center, and intricate end panels show \"THREE\" at left and \"MISSOURI\" at right. The obligation on this plate variety is, \"...promise to pay____or bearer on demand,\" as on the previous. Plate A. No. 2997. Signed by Lillburn W. Boggs as the first cashier of the bank (he resigned in 1819) and Aug. Chouteau as bank president. This date and signature variant $3 has been in the Newman Collection for decades. Noted with \"Tape Repairs; Stains.\" There are glassine strips on the top and left back edges to reinforce some nicks. The upper left corner is deeply toned. However, this is a solid note with boldly penned signatures. An important, earlier-dated and -signed type note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
