Mansfield, The Richland & Huron Bank $3
Grade: UNC    

---

A nice $3 note, dated 18 Dec, 1816, from this bank that opened in December 1816 and failed soon after. There is a printing crease running across the top half of the note. This note is listed as a R-5 in the Wolka Ohio reference, suggesting that 11 to 25 examples are known. This bank failed due to a number of lawsuits filed against it seeking payment on the issued notes . The bank president, John Garrison, had to sell many of his personal belongings to satisfy the claims. Ex. the Early American History Mail Bid Auction, August 26, 2000, Lot # 760.
