Beschreibung:: Edgartown, MA - Martha's Vineyard Bank $5 Oct. 20, 1860 Altered Note MA-560 A30. PCGS Very Fine 25. This is an altered note from the Pioneer Association, Lafayette, Indiana. However, it is still a very significant as it is from an extremely rare location for any Obsolete note. We have seen only a few altered bills from the island community, and this is the finest we have observed. The red tinted Bald, Cousland imprint plate design has drovers at upper left and a haying scene at lower right. Well framed and bold. We have observed only two confirmed genuine notes from the bank. There is a $1 issued note plated in the Whitman Encyclopedia. There is also a $5 Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson tinted note, which was once part of the Richard Ulbrich collection, listed and not illustrated. It has traded hands privately twice in the last two decades, never appearing at public auction. This altered type catalogs for $750 in Very Fine in the Whitman Encyclopedia. However, it is very rarely offered. A standout note from this elite title. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2017).
