Frankfort, KY- The Farmers Bank of Kentucky $10
<B>Frankfort, KY- The Farmers Bank of Kentucky</B></I> $10 Oct. 3, 1860 G224a Hughes 259<BR> This is a gorgeous ABNCo red and black dated and signed note. Portraits of Kentucky governor (1848-50) John J. Crittenden and his wife, plus a detailed farming vignette including slaves adorn this note. When this $10 was dated, Crittenden was serving in the United States Senate as a member of the American/Know-Nothing Party. Two of Governor Crittenden's sons were generals who served on opposite sides during the Civil War. Also, a grandson of his was killed in General Custer's expedition against the Sioux in 1876. Obsoletes are widely collected for their art, history, and beauty, and as more and more collectors adopt this specialty, these beautiful notes will become increasingly difficult. This scarce item certainly falls into the above categories. <B>Choice Crisp Uncirculated.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
