Owner's Description

Lebanon, PA The Valley NB Charter #655 $5 Series of 1875 Fr. 401. PMG 25 SN 1140/K551880 pp B dtd. Dec. 30th, 1864. A very scarce item from this seldom offered large only Lebanon bank as this is the only Series of 1875 $5 reported from here. It is an attractive mid grade note with bold ink colors and dark signatures of Jac. (Jacob B.) Karch, Cashier and George Hoffman, President. This large size only bank chartered December 30, 1864 and was liquidated December 1, 1920, ~56 years later. The paper features two continuous horizontal threads the use of which is consistent with production in 1880 as indicated by the treasury SN. The Continental BN Co. is found in the lower border as the BEP didn't replace with their imprint until about 1887 for any new or replacement plates.
