Ft. Leavenworth, KS - Drovers Bank $3 July 1, 1856 KS-30 G6a, Whitfield 117. PCGS About New 50. Waterman Lily Ormsby-engraved and printed notes have always been well collected. This is perhaps the most popular W. L. Ormsby note, with the long livestock vignette across the face; the details of the cattle and sheep are deeply engraved. This note is interesting as the "Ft." of "Ft. Leavenworth" appears to have been struck out intentionally. The orange back has three intersecting "target" circles. A crisp example with some light paper toning. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20435, realized $360. |
