Owner's Description

These first $5 Demand Notes issued by the Federal Government are rare, but not among my favorite designs. They borrowed design elements from obsolete bank notes, and were printed privately by the American Bank Note Company. This note, which seems generously graded as 15 Net, was acquired in the September 2013 Heritage auction.
