An interesting lot relating to the final issue, still dated 1908 but prepared circa 1914.  $10 Back Proof, showing the Prescott Gate, previously used on the 1898 $20 from which it has been developed.  The issued $10 had the Hope Gate on the back, not the Prescott.  This is an essay proof mounted on card, with instructions to redo the design for the $5 back.  The bank name below the vignette is to have "The" added, and the words "Prescott Gate" are to be added just above the bank name.  An intriguing pencil notation states, "New Red" which we believe pertains to the second item:  $5 Back Model, in red.  The various authorized changes have been pasted on.  Model has two punch hole cancels. PCGS grades these items UNC 64 and UNC 61 respectively.
