St. Louis, (M.T.) - Bank of Missouri $5 June 3, 1817 MO-30 G20. PCGS Very Fine 25. Like the $3 notes, there are two obligation plate types used, combined with the date and signature configurations. This $5 Bank of Missouri type has the handwritten \"bearer\" on the engraved line of the Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. plate (obligation variety using \"...promise to pay____or ____ on demand.\" Style and layout are similar to other denominations in the series. The Jefferson bust vignette at top center has JEFFERSON straight across (not arced) and intricate end panels with \"FIVE\" at left and \"MISSOURI\" at right. Plate B. No. 611. There is a \"filed Oct. 4, 1821 ...\" protest endorsement on the back. Signed by Lillburn W, Boggs as the first cashier of the bank and Aug. Chouteau as bank president. This example has represented the obligation plate variety in the Newman Collection for decades. A solid note, but the protest endorsement shows to the face vertically along the center, and an ink blot is obscured in the lathe details in the left panel. Scarce and interesting. Ex: Eric P.
