Description
Southern Bank Note Co. 1861 $20
T19 $20 1861 Cr. 137.Along with the Type 15, these 1861 $20s were effectively printed by a branch of the American Bank Note Company, under the covert, Southern Bank Note Company Name. The design elements are typical of the ABNCo. work and second to no other printer of the time. At center is Navigation seated by charts, Minerva is seated at left, and at right is an engraving of a blacksmith.
This note features simply exceptional color, where most T19s exhibit partially oxidized protectors. Hilton purchased this note from then Houston dealer Crutchfield Williams at the Memphis IPMS in June 1999. Both the $50 and $20 employ the bold, pumpkin orange underprint - elements to deter counterfeiters of the time. The paper is boldly original and problem free. A few folds and bends account for the grade of Very Fine 35 from PCGS. In overall appearance, it is very close in overall eye appeal to the T15 offered here tonight, a unique opportunity to buy such a well matched pair of notes from this printer.
