 Morgan County Bank. $5.00. A. Jacksonville, IL. 1850's. India paper Proof by Wellstood, Hay & Whiting, New York. Lovely young girl's portrait, supported by cherubs; right end with large '5' with small Indian detail. Haxby IL-410 G6 SENC. Another very rare bank on the state. Very handsome in all regards. The corners are razor sharp. Slight rippling and very minor traces of the old mounting glues from the book that was its home. Still, Very Choice and for a India paper proof from this archive type, a Gem in our opinion.
