CH 795-10-06, aGood. This note is extremely rare with the engraved G. McMicken signature at right. Only two other privately owned examples are known, in addition to one held by the National Currency Collection. McMicken demanded that all notes bearing his signature be rounded up and destroyed, and new printing was completed and the more common manuscript Richardson signature applied.  Unfortunately, the note is missing upper left and lower right corners, and a major tear at the right. S/N:992/B.
