Omaha City, NE - Brownville Bank & Land Company $10 September 1, 1857 NE-50 G6d, Walton 12. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This is an extremely popular bank title with superbly designed notes, mostly with color tinting, engraved and printed by Danforth, Wright & Co. There are several tint variants, and this deeper golden (or yellow) shade is very scarce. The wide harvesting vignette extends from lower left to top right. It has a full golden-yellow lace tint with a more deeply hued protector TEN and micro-lettered background on the left end panel. An allegorical female sits at lower right beneath a "10" die. The serial number is 2055. Noted with: "Repairs; Signatures Redrawn; Adhesive Residue and Scuffs on Back.". However, despite some the faults, this faces up fairly well and displays excellent color for the grade. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
