Bank of Commerce, $10, 1871, Contemporary Counterfeit - Canadian Bank of Commerce, Ten Dollars, 1871, Capital $6M, CH 75-10-18C. Blue SN 201241, check letter "D". Machine overprint, in script, "COUNTERFEIT" twice on back, in purple. Fine, small repaired tear at bottom left, with evidence of hinge mounting on back. The interesting thing about this example is the amount of graffiti on it. The word "BAD" is written across the centre, in bold ink, and "Bogus" is also written numerous time. On the back is written, "Received by H.C.B. Smith from someone with Counterfeit on Jany 12/89. Chg to Profit & Loss after Jany 12/89". An interesting history of this note.
