Extremely Rare Buffalo County Bank $1 Proof
Northhousen, WI - Buffalo County Bank $1 185_ WI-600 G2a
Proof PCGS Very Choice New 64.An extremely rare and important proof, originally from the exceptional Eric P. Newman Wisconsin sheets, from one of the state's rarest banks. This is an exceptionally graphic India paper proof engraved and printed by Toppan, Carpenter & Co., New York & Phila. from a $1A-$1B-$5-$10 configured sheet. The bank never opened, but spared no expense in producing one of the most visual Badger State series. The $1 proof uses a vermillion title at the left and large color counter at the upper right. At the bottom left is a wide hunting scene set on the plains, showing the moment the Indian on his galloping horse spears the buffalo. At the upper right, two beavers busily gnaw on branches. Hole Punch Cancelled as made. The "A" position proof in the same grade sold in our Newman Part VI sale in April 2015 for $4,700. The $5 and $10 denominations from that former Newman Collection sheet all recently sold for $3,000 or more. This note is tremendous in all regards, particularly because of the title and complementing vignette. The plate note in both reference works is an unavailable proof archived in Madison, Wisconsin. The color is extraordinarily bold and vibrant. Sold previously (for the first time in fact) in our Newman Internet Part 1 sale in 2016 for $2,585.
