Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Kankakee Bank. 1857 $2. Haxby 80-002-G4a. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 Net. Remainder. Previously Mounted.
From our 2009 Philadelphia Americana Sale where it was described, "Plate A. Imprint of Wellstood, Hay & Whiting, New York. Full red tint of micro-lettered TWOs, deeper red counter surround, red bottom denomination border. Two females seated with factory in background with ornate "TWO." Lower left, seal. Lower right, men with picks and shovels. Haxby WI-80 G4a. High Rarity-7, and in this format, perhaps a unique note. The only note from this exceptionally rare title in the collection. The first example we have seen except for the Haxby-Krause plate notes which are on an uncut proof sheet which we will venture a guess are well ensconced in a foundation collection. The wide side margined archive remainder on banknote paper has small punch holes like a proof and was once in a book with glue residue on the verso. There is some modest aging that is meaningless. This is a one of the most important rarities in the Krause Collection and an essential note for someone who might want to someday attempt to approach the magnitude of diversity in this awesome state collection. For the right collector, worthy of runaway price." PMG Comments "Previously Mounted."
From the Caine Collection.
