(Lutesville, MO) - Ozark Iron Company's Store 10 Cents Undated (ca. 1870s). PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. This is a very rare iron company store note issued for merchandise and later used to pay workers during the 1873 financial panic. A small-format change type printed on bond paper by the St. Louis Democrat Litho. & Printing Co., but without their imprint. The lesser denominations have similar face layouts, but different vignettes. The left end has a variation of the Missouri State Seal, titles and obligation are in the center, and diminutive deer is at lower right beneath small \"10\" counter. A large red \"10\" undertint protector is at the center. The denomination TEN CENTS in white on a black cartouche is across. The engraved manager's signature is at the bottom. The fancy green back has \"Receivable / for / Merchandise / at / Cash Prices\" in a central cartouche flanked by counters. Noted with \"Internal Splits; Small Piece Missing at Top Center.\" Not entirely intact, but the back color and detail are excellent. The Schingoethe Part 14: Lot 1274 realized $2,085 in April 2008 (raw Fine to Very Fine). This is in much lesser grade, but it is a rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
