Scotia, MO - Scotia Iron Works Store $3 August 15, 1872. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ. A larger format, dollar-denominated type from the iron works store and equally as rare as the change bills. These types have the engraved city and date. Printed on white bond paper by the Democrat Lith. & Printing Co. with imprint. Bordered all around, with STATE OF MISSOURI at top and bottom, and an interlocking US on a shield in each corner. At upper left, America is pictured in a circle flanked by a train and agricultural goods at left, and a deer at the right. At center right are the title, city, date, and THREE DOLLARS across with a large green \"3\" protector. The right end shows a circular elk's head beneath a \"3\" counter. The red back is similar to change bills with RECEIVABLE / FOR / MERCHANDISE / AT / CASH PRICES in an oval flanked by outlined counters. Unnumbered. This note was \"Pen Cancelled\" at the left face \"April 9/[18]77.\" A stunning rarity with minimal handling, wide margins, and vibrant colors. This is a gorgeous Missouri three dollar bill and company scrip. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
