St. Louis, MO - City of Saint Louis Warrant $2 November 1, 1873. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A scarce $2 note with rich color and vibrancy, printed on two sides by the National Bank Note Company, New-York. The frame and protector guilloche are in green. At top center is the classic vignette, The Crossing, attributed to James D. Smillie, but not verified. A train crosses a stone bridge in the background while a man on horseback drives cattle down a hill to the stream. Another worker, standing in the water and holding a cattle prod, finishes rolling up his pant legs. The vignette appears on several Obsolete banknotes from the period. The head of a cow is at top left and a woman with flowers is at lower right. There are three engraved signatures. The brown security back shows the title at center. Plate A, no. 25992. Noted with \"Small Paper Scuffs on Back.\" However, this is not cancelled and the beautiful face is perfectly framed. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
