Cape Girardeau, MO - Bank of the State of Missouri, Bank in Cape Girardeau $2 July 1, 1861 MO-60 G88 SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A visually appealing and exceedingly rare $2 note issued from the Cape Girardeau branch. All notes from this unregistered Civil War-dated series were unknown to Haxby and listed as \"SENC.\" The layout for this type is one of the finest seen on any Missouri banknote. A classic steamboat scene is at top center between denomination dies and above the title. The border consists of repeating floral designs with denomination circles in the corners. Plate A. The state seal is at lower left, the imprint of the American Bank Note Co. New York is at bottom center, and a dog and safe vignette is at lower right. Plate A. No. 851. Signed boldly by A. S. Robinson and R. A. Barnes. Grading notes \"Small Edge Splits; Minor Ink Erosion.\" The faults are mere trivialities overshadowed by the strong paper body, beautiful printing, sizable margins, and crisply penned signatures. This note, also been a member of the Newman Collection for decades, is a prize piece from the Bank of the State of Missouri. Quite likely a unique example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
