Montreal Bank $20, Reed Issue (circa 1817) Counterfeit, Reprint.

Printed rather lightly on thin translucent paper, with the original counterfeit plate.  As Charlton #500-10-20C.  We have not encountered any reprint of the counterfeit previously.  Probably not a contemporary printing.  A few light age spots.  Extensive counterfeiting was carried out near the U. S. border at Dunham L. C. in the early 19th century, and we do not doubt that this lot and those following result from that activity.  Useful as a reference copy.
