Leavenworth City, KS - City Bank $3 November 1, 1856 KS-50 G46a, Whitfield 291. Remainder. PCGS About New 53 Apparent. A three-dollar bill that certainly stands on its own merits or should be of interest to Ormsby and Kansas collectors. The third and highest denomination from this rarer City Bank series. This type has three farmers with scythe vignettes, in a row and slightly inclined upward. The W. L. Ormsby imprint is under the center farmer�s left foot. Three "3" dies are at each end. The red-orange back has three intersecting "target" circles. Well-printed on the face and with a very strong color back. Some scattered foxing is noted as "Minor Stains." An old penned mark on the back lower left corner identifies the Newman pedigree perfectly. This completes a fascinating and attractive trio of interestingly crafted notes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20116, realized $1680. |
