Owner's Description

Kansas City, MO The Merchants NB Ch. # 2440 PMG 15 $20 1875 Fr. 434 Scofield | Gilfillan SN 4224/D835646 pp A dtd. Jany. 8th, 1880. An excessively rare note from a short lived Kansas City bank which issued Series 1875 notes only before closing in 1891. Just four examples extant (2-5s, 1-10, 1-20 series of 1875), one of $5s is locked away in the Higgins Museum. Not only is this a rare bank, this Series 1875 $20 is a very rare type and denomination from any Missouri bank with just five pieces reported, with one of those also in the Higgins Museum. Boldly pen signed by J.M. Coburn, Cashier and F.L. Underwood, President, with excellent color and solid paper for the grade. Security paper with two horizontal threads.
