Morgan, GA � Bank of Morgan $1 May 1, 1857 GA-235 G2a. PCGS Choice About New 58. Collected by Eric Newman, before the discovery of the Audubon running grouse notes, were issued Obsolete notes with base vignettes of birds similar to the description of the Audubon grouse. The more frequently seen vignette is the two-waterfowl type seen here (illustrated in Figure 4 of the original Peck and Newman article) used on several Obsolete banks and types; many of these are often altered to other banks. Similar to it is a vignette of two bobwhite quail (as illustrated in that article in figure 5.), which at first glance appears similar, but is clearly different upon scrutiny. Each type is eminently collectible. The selection here is not complete, but can be augmented and built upon with patience and study. This is an available bank and type using the waterfowl at the bottom center. Agriculture is at the upper left, Washington is at lower left, and there is a vibrant red ONE protector. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
