Confederate States of America -Developmental Essay Proof for Straker & Sons $10 Chemicograph Back Design. PCGS Very Choice New 64. This is another stunning proof, and it appears to be complete or virtually so. Printed in black ink. As previous, the card measures 30.0cm by 22.0cm, and the note within is 19.0cm by 8.0cm, with the visible plate embossing delineating the margin. The Confederate Seal in the center depicts George Washington on horseback, as seen on the Virginia Washington Monument in Richmond, encircled by cotton and other Southern crops. THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA arcs around, and the motto DEO VINDICE (loosely, God as our defender) is in exergue. Flanking are denominations within the agricultural features developed in the previous essay. Shading and other details appear complete. There is a pinpoint petty speck on the impression, away from the printed area, otherwise it has a Gem appearance. The $10 proof in the Ball-Richmond lot was an earlier version. This is a complete (or virtually complete) proof with tremendous style. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
