Plymouth, Massachusetts. Plymouth Bank. 1840s-50s $10. PMG About Uncirculated 53. Proof. (MA-1000 G124). Plate O. Imprint of Toppan, Carpenter, & Co., New-York & Philad. India paper on original card. At upper left a wide and custom vignette of Landing of the Pilgrims, 1620. Many, many settlers and some Indians. Large "X" right of center. An Indian princess at far right. PMG comments "Pieces Added," as there was some chipping off of the India paper which was deftly drawn in. The Haxby Plate note from the Vattemare sales. A great Proof that projects mightily and which bears one of the great title/vignette combinations from Massachusetts. A decade ago we sold this same Proof for a hair under $5,000. The higher denomination proofs are rarely offered and always sell for strong four-figure prices when they do make their presence felt.
