FNB Helena, Montana; 4th National Bank in Saint Louis, Missouri. Check with choice vignette of bags of gold dust and ingots sitting in front of a bank teller, 1869 with RN B1.
This check is stunning in its appearance. The check was ultimately headed to Saint Louis' 4th National Bank for customer Erfort & Petring.
Castenholz, in his Field Guide to Revenue Stamped Paper, considers this check as one of the top western revenue imprinted checks, with only a small handful considered better, such as the purple Nevada imprint RN.
This check, and the other two in this sale, all came from the famous Henry Clifford California Gold Rush collection of Territorial gold coins, illustrated lettersheets and more Gold Rush items.
