New York, New York. Park Bank. 1860s. $10. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Proof.(NY-1865 G10a) Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, New York. Nine cherubs present gifts of bounty to reclining Prosperity with ten Gold Dollar coins. Lower left, braided hair young girl (seen on this bank only). Lower right, New York Bank Die in octagonal frame. Dual red protectors with "X" flanking vignette and cursive "TEN" along the bottom. This is the Haxby plate example and it is likely unique in this form. The note was part of the British American Bank Note Company sale in 1997 where it was acquired by Herb and Martha Schingoethe. We previously entertained this note in our January 2008 Americana sale where it realized $4600. A well preserved and visually stunning proof.
