I have been very fortunate over the years to handle virtually every different California Gold Bank Note. Even though there are around 200 serial numbers recorded finding any of them is a real treat. This is my lucky day because I get to handle two different 'white paper' Gold Bank Notes in one sale. There are nine 1875 $20 California Gold Bank Notes reported and several are printed on white paper, but they are excessively rare. This note has been restored and is very solid with decent color yet the trim is a bit uneven on the left side. Excellent pen signatures as well.
