Owner's Description

Not a scarce Boston bank, with numerous First Charter aces and deuces reported, but this is the only First Charter $20 listed from this institution that closed in 1923. A very pretty example, with vibrant ink colors and plenty of eye appeal. It has also managed to avoid being subjected to the notorious "New England" trim. Despite a few pinholes, it's a very attractive example of a much scarcer type and denomination. PMG has less than 200 notes registered for the 1875 $20 NBN. A rarity by any measure.
