Madison, WI - Wisconsin Bank of Madison $5 18__ WI-405 G6a. Proof. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. The archive of Wisconsin and Minnesota proofs offered in these Newman Collection auction sales are memorable. Though most of the types offered were known to exist from other archive sources or through Eric's sharing of his research with authors, few had ever been cataloged or sold in other sales. This final proof from that historic assemblage is a very striking India paper color proof mounted on the original card. Printed crisply from the Wellstood, Hay & Whiting, New-York series plate, and from an original $5-$5-$5-$10 sheet. The red color tinting is styled differently than that of the $1 and $2 denominations from the bank. Across the bottom half of this \"A\" plate position note is a lighter red FIVE micro-lettering pattern, with the end frames and upper cornices deeper red, which also outlines the \"5\" in white. Liberty and Justice, identified by the banners at their feet, flank a large, oval portrait of then-Governor Leonard J. Farwell. Liberty holds the fasces and some wheat; Justice has her scales and sword. A bold Gem with exceptionally vibrant color. Noted as \"Hole Punch Cancelled\" and \"Mounted on Cardstock\" as made. A similar PCGS Gem New 66PPQ example realized $1,880 in Newman Internet Part 3, May 3, 2017. A gorgeous Madison color proof, and the last of three examples from the Newman Collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
