Fayette, MO - Bank of the State of Missouri, at Fayette $20 Contemporary Counterfeit 1857 MO-60 C124 SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is a rare contemporary counterfeit in attractive grade with the false imprint of Toppan, Carpenter & Co. Philada. seen at bottom center. It exhibits the counterfeit diagnostics clearly and shows some interesting differences from the genuine branch note type. The Gothic-style \"Countersigned\" and \"& Registered\" red stampings at the top are divided by the vignette; the two plate letters are in black on this variant (an example in this Newman Collection sale has red \"A\" plate letters); \"Comr.\" is in red, but the line above it is in black and preceded by \"No.\" At top center, enthroned Moneta appears to instruct the young woman sitting on her lap, and the vignettes show crude renderings of Benton, Linn, Van Buren, and Jackson. Plate A. Faded serial number. A large \"Pen Cancelled\" \"X\" is across the face. PCGS also notes \"Paper Pulls and Tape on Back; Internal Tear at Center.\" A solid note in well above average condition. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
