Lexington, MO - Farmers Bank of Missouri, at___$20 18__ MO-15 G48a SENC. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. The higher denominations from the Farmers Bank are much different than the $5 and $10 notes. They do not have full color tints, but instead use vermillion color devices. Like the $5 and $10 notes, they were to be countersigned and registered, as engraved on the plate. with an appropriate space for the commissioner's signature. This type was printed on $20A-$20B-$20C-$20D sheets, and several were in the 1990 ABN Sale at Christie's. However, many of them were in faulty condition or had harsh ink stampings on the back. This is a beautiful, plate A, India paper proof engraved by Bald, Cousland & Co. Philada. & New York with the imprint at bottom left and the ABC monogram at the center of the right end. Under the arced Gothic title, a shield showing a cameo portrait of Washington is supported by two farmers, a man and a woman. Transportation scenes are flanking in the background. The vibrant vermillion counter surrounds, title, and protector devices are impressive at first glance. Robert Aull and Florence Nightingale are in the lower corners. Noted as \"Hole Punch Cancelled,\" as made, and with \"Repaired Tears in LR Cancellation.\" Stamped on the blank back as \"Property of the American Bank Note Co.,\" which is faintly seen on the face. The color title and devices are particularly vibrant, and this is in well above average condition for the type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
