Lexington, MO - Farmers Bank of Missouri $10 18__ MO-15 G46a. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. This handsome proof was obtained generations before the 1990 ABN Sale yielded several four-subject sheets with this handsome layout. A beautiful full-color tint plate was used by Bald, Cousland & Co. Philada. & New York on this India paper proof. Reddish-pink lace tint graces all but the signature blocks (which show the color but not the lace), the bottom corner vignettes, and the large TEN protector, which is outlined in a deeper orange. Top corners have \"10\" dies at each end of the arced title. Above the title is a dynamic cotton-wagon scene, with six mules straining to pull the heavy load as the slave who is driving cracks his whip. The bottom left portrait shows the first president of the bank, Robert Aull. Plate A. Noted as \"Hole Punch Cancelled,\" as made, and with \"Minor Stains\" that are wisps of toning, attesting to its distinguished Wismer pedigree, long before the 1990 ABN Archive Sale (and notes stamped from the back that often marred the face eye appeal). Ex: D. C. Wismer, July 1939;Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
