These posters were tacked to poles, placed in the front windows of storefronts and were plastered on the walls of neighborhood bars and restaurants. This particular poster does not have the price on the bottom right corner in parenthesis above the red line as many do, nor does the printer info show underneath the red line, possibly due to trim.

I plowed 58026 through days of early Colorado newspapers looking for tidbits, but came up mostly empty. This I expected, because Parsons was in a very remote area far outside of the reporting area of the Denver newspaper in 1860. The big question is this: are all four ingots fakes?, or is one of the Lot#1634 Confederate Currency four an original, from which the others were copied? and if so, Lot of four: 1) $20, Richmond, Virginia, which one is real?
