 CALIFORNIA. Miners Bank of Savings of Alta-California. 50 Cents in Gold Dust. St. Francisco. Early 1850's. Gavit & Co. Albany. At the left is Ceres seated. In the center is a '50' counter, 'IN GOLD DUST' below. Unissued as always seen. A much rarer denomination on this Gold Dust note series. A tear at the lower left has been scotch taped from the verso with a light stain. Some minor foxing, but superior margins for the type. Fine.
Ex Fred Marckhoff Collection, August 25, 1956.
