(Springfield), IL - Bank of Lucas & Simonds $1 185_ IL-765 G2 SENC. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63. A sharply printed Lucas & Simonds $1 proof. The St. Louis firm issued these notes from the Springfield, Illinois location to circumvent Missouri laws barring such \"on demand\" notes. An India paper proof mounted on the original card by Danforth, Bald & Co., Cincinnati. A wide hay-harvesting vignette at top center is sandwiched between the two parts of the title with the denomination beneath. The left end shows the Auditor's seal and fancy scrollwork dies. The right end displays earth goddess Tellus holding a globe beneath a ONE die. Plate A and printed on the $1-$1-$3-$5 denomination sheet that originated in the 1990 ABN Archives sale. Noted as \"Hole Punch Cancelled\" and \"Mounted on Card Stock\" as made. This is the last example of the three in the Newman Collection. This looks \"PPQ\" in our opinion and is a beautiful card proof.
