St. Louis, (M.T.) - Bank of Missouri $10 June 3, 1817 MO-30 UNL. PCGS Very Fine 25. The $10 notes are the most frequently seen denomination from the series. Many remaining today are \"filed Oct. 4, 1821\" back-endorsed notes. These were protested after the bank dissolved, which rendered the notes worthless. Like the $3 and $5 notes, there are two plate-obligation types. The first, with the payer or \"bearer\" to be written in on an engraved line is unlisted in Haxby (would be Haxby MO-30 G22, and space was left for it in his reference). The Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. layout and style are similar, but the vignette makes a dramatic shift. The Jefferson bust on the riverbank, flanked by merchandise, is at bottom center within the denomination and obligation, and JEFFERSON is engraved straight across under the pedestal. The end panels are similar with \"TEN\" at the left and \"MISSOURI\" at the right. Plate A. No. 45. Signed by Lillburn W. Boggs as the first cashier and Aug. Chouteau as bank president. Handwritten \"bearer\" is on the engraved line above the denomination. Endorsed on the back as \"filed Oct. 4, 1821...,\" which shows through lightly at the center. A choice example of a type that often has heavy ink bleed-through from back endorsements. An unlisted type and the lowest serial number we have seen on the Chouteau-signed series. Ex: Eric P.
