Hannibal City, MO - Treasurer of the City of Hannibal Treasury Warrant $1 1872. PCGS Extremely Fine 45. The City of Hannibal 1872 series is one of the rarest and most beautiful of the Missouri municipal notes from this period. This exceptional example, serial 1199, might be the penultimate note from the printing. Undated and with officer signatures only. It was obtained directly from D. C. Wismer in 1939 when Eric finalized the purchase of Wismer's core Missouri Obsolete note collection for $125.00. (Wismer mentioned that note's serial number specifically in every letter to Eric regarding the transaction.) The striking $1 layout was engraved and printed by the Western Banknote & Eng. Co. Chicago on two sides. The frame and denomination die at upper right are in green. Under the arced title at top center, a meticulously detailed eagle perches on a rock while a train and boats travel in the far distance. At lower left, a young woman with attributes of Navigation and Agriculture gazes at the model of a ship she holds aloft. In an oval frame at lower right are two allegorical females (perhaps Erato and History). The stunning green back has a large \"1\" die at the center and smaller denomination dies at the ends. Imprints appear at the bottom, within the frame at center face and arced beneath the central die on the back. Plate A. Signed, but not dated. We have cataloged and sold the $3 proof from this series. It was unusual, having individual face and back India paper impressions mounted face-to-back to the same banknote-sized card. That proof, with a dynamic Native American hunting scene, realized $2,115 in our 2016 Long Beach sale. The present intriguing signed $1 note, serial number 1199, has been in the Newman Collection for 78 years. Another inspiring treasure from this distinguished cabinet. Ex: D. C. Wismer, July 1939; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society \n\n
