Owner's Description

New Bloomfield, PA First NB of Ch. # 5133 PMG 53 $5 1882 DB Fr. Lyons | Roberts SN 1/B801196 pp E/32 dtd. July 12, 1898. Position indicator and 1882-1908 printed in selvage. A quick glance at the National Currency Foundation census reveals immediately how rare this serial number 1 1882 Date Back is. Only 33 serial number 1 1882 Date Backs have been reported in total from over 8,000 surviving serial number 1 examples from all banks in all states. Compare that with the rarity of Serial Number 1 Red Seals, which total 88 survivors from Pennsylvania alone! This particular issue from the "E" plate position which also retains its top selvedge has perfectly preserved signatures and received just a light fold and handling which accounts for the grade. Bank officers were James T. Alter Cashier and Jas. W. Shull, President. The bold blue overprint and the deeply printed black ink remain unmolested to this day.
