Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mechanics Bank of Pittsburgh. ND (18xx). $10. Very Fine. Remainder.，(PA-539 Unlisted Spurious Issue) Chas. E. Ely. Philada. Native American man overlooking town in left end panel. Native American hunter waving at passing steam train at center. Sailing vessel at anchor in right end panel. Dog with safe at bottom center. X in die counters in each corner and to left and right of central vignette. We believe this Ten was from the same spurious issuer who issued $5s under the false Mechanics Bank of Pittsburgh name (PA-539 S5). The design of the $10 predates the genuine issued seen from PA-540. The printed inks of this remainder are bold and provide sharp details to this design. A small portion of the bottom left corner tip is absent.
