MA-246 C8a. August 23, 1857. Branded counterfeit of Suffolk Bank, which operated as a clearinghouse from 1825-1858. Profile portrait of John Howard seen at upper left. Type I Santa. A delightful example of this popular Santa Claus note. St. Nick is in his sleigh upon a rooftop. When Roger sold his collection in 2012 this topped the $500 mark.
