 American Bank. $5.00. B. Boston, MA. 1830's. India paper Proof by New England Bank Note Co. Boston. Mercury standing over the symbols of commerce, plenty, and agriculture; left panel with artisan at work; right panel with seated female. Haxby MA-95 Unlisted Series and Type. The bank is extremely rare. However, the Tom Denly Collection (auctioned in May, 2003 by CAA) had two different notes on a slightly later series. This is the first we have seen of this note type and undoubtedly, extremely rare. Small oval cancel cutouts in the signature blocks. About Uncirculated. Light vertical fold, heavy handling on one side. The rarity ''rules'' this perhaps near one of a kind note.
