Catskill, NY - Catskill Bank 6 Cents Jan. 2, 1816 NY-590-UNL, Harris H14. PCGS Very Fine 20. This is from the first series of small change notes for emergency use in the War of 1812 period. The bank eventually became a National Bank and redeemed notes well after the Civil War. This small format-type shows a charming vignette of reclining Ceres beneath the curving bank title. The imprint of W. & R. Alby. is at the bottom. The denomination is reported, but not listed, in Haxby, and another example illustrated in the Harris book. An interesting odd denomination. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
