The only other example we know of was in the Ford Collection and it had a piece torn off. That note was described as, "Style of the 1850s. Printed on thin bank note paper. Engraved and lithographed by 'D. Fell & Co. Xylographic Press, 2 & 5 Pearl Street, New York'. Full and fine brown tint lathe across the note. Outlined white protectors, obligations and counters. At the top center, a beehive. At the left, the issuer's name and at the right a panel with '10' counter. Unissued remainder with no dates or signatures. An extremely rare issuer and a very important scrip note from the North Carolina gold mining region. Though the private coinage issuing period ended much earlier, the mining continued and this note is a vivid reminder. The tint type is the first we have ever seen and also is the first note we have seen from this imprint".
