This is the third note purchased at Heritage to attempt to build a decent "Rainbow" collection. The $10, $20 and higher denominations might take a few years and a few paychecks!

One of the most iconic notes ever printed for US currency. U.S. Grant, hero of the Civil War on the obverse with a beautiful engraved image of 1886 Morgan Head silver dollars on the reverse. It strikes a chord with both currency and coin collectors alike thus it's ever expanding popularity. Track and Price records 314 notes of Fr. 261.

This note was graded as a 58 "Gem Like" from CGC. After the re-grade it went down to a 40. This note is almost perfect. No flaws I can see at all. It is a incredibly beautiful note with excellent centering. One of the true greats of the large note era, fondly known as the "Chief."

Ornate back $5 Treasury Note. General George H. Thomas graces the obverse and is best remembered as the "Rock of Chickamauga", for his stout defensive stand that allowed an orderly retreat of other Union forces who would ultimately win the Battle of Chattanooga.

Carrollton, IL - $5 1875 Fr. 404 The Greene County NB Ch. # 2390
An attractive and problem free example with even circulation and dark penned signatures of Cashier Ornan Pierson and President John I. Thomas. Ornan's father founded this bank in 1854 with the original eponymous name of David Pierson, Banker. I enjoy the 25 with EPQ, lower grade original paper. Lovely note, well centered, excellent colors. All around nice note.

Beautiful replacement to a low grade Brown Back for this elusive Michigan bank. Absolutely lovely!
The Second National Bank of Saginaw was organized with a 20-year charter in 1871, which was extended in 1891 and again in 1911. The first officers were Roswell G. Horr, cashier, and C.K. Robinson, president. On March 12, 1872, the bank acquired the business owned by the president, C.K. Robinson & Co. The capital was $200,000. The institution was located downtown next to the Bliss Block (Masonic Hall Building), where it remained for 24 years. From all accounts the bank was managed conservatively, and reports showed excellent profitability.
On January 1, 1893, the bank absorbed the Home National Bank of Saginaw, which traced its origin to the former Merchants National Bank and, before that, the private bank of W.L.P. Little & Co. established in November 1855. The Second National moved its office to the former Home National premises. By 1911 the capital was $500,000. On November 1, 1922, the Second National Bank took over the Commercial National Bank of Saginaw. At the time the Second National Bank had a capital of $1,000,000. Arthur D. Eddy was cashier, and George B. Morely was president. On January 29, 1929, its name was changed to the Second National Bank & Trust Company.
It seems that a large part of the history of banking in Saginaw could be placed in a comprehensive history of the Second National Bank and its acquisitions.
PMG graded 208 notes (as of 6/1/2019) for this Fr. # with 18 grading higher than this nice brown back.

WI 2 digit serial number given the STAR designation by PMG. This is an absolutely beautiful piece with the sparkle and flash of a note which was printed this morning. It is utterly original, problem free, and hugely embossed, and is uncirculated save for the presence of three light bends which affect nothing and can only be observed upon close visual inspection. It has also, quite deservedly, earned PMG's "*" designation for exceptional eye appeal. PMG's census reports 45 Fr-533 notes (as of 6/1/2019) with 8 notes having a higher grade.

A much tougher type as there are only two dozen $5 Value Backs known on the entire state. This piece shows huge margins on all sides. Blazing blue inks and an impressive title layout only serve to augment the visual appeal of this piece. Excellent and relatively rare value back from the great state of Indiana. Picked up at LK auction in June 2019. Nice colors, well-centered, and superior embossing. Sent to PMG 5/2021 for re-holder and was upgraded to EPQ! There is justice in the world.

Wow!!! PMG reports that 362 Fr-587's ($5 Red Seals with Lyons and Roberts signatures as of 6/1/2019) (NOW: 391 as of 12/27/2019) have been graded. This note is graded higher than 390 of those notes!! TWO $5 red seal notes are reported at PMG 66 EPQ. This is one of those notes. How can I not love this beauty? Add to the fact that I have been chasing Ch #6301 since I love the name and diversity of Mellon signatures. I have a $5, $10 and $20 red seal from this Charter and a $5, $10 and $20 Blue Seal. This Red Seal from this private name bank which displays the signature of A. W. Mellon as President. Andrew Mellon was a successful banker, businessman and philanthropist who was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in 1921, serving for a decade under Presidents Harding, Coolidge and, Hoover. At President Roosevelt's direction, he was subjected to a grand jury proceeding by the Justice Department (the grand jury declined to indict him despite the best efforts of the Justice Department) along with a subsequent civil proceeding alleging tax fraud (which ended in his complete exoneration, albeit several months after his death). Mellon donated his fabled art collection plus $10 million to cover construction costs to the museum which became the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. TOP POP!

The Union NB Knoxville Tennessee with Napier Burke signature. T&P lists 71 large notes from this bank. However there are only 3 Date Backs. This is one of the three and is the highest graded of the three. Oddly enough, PMG reports only 7 Fr. 596's and this is the Top Pop. Great note!

Lincoln Portrait is the pinnacle of collecting. The obverse is light on ink but the reverse makes up for that times 10. The green colors on the reverse of the note are rich, emerald, deep and well-embossed. I haven't seen this common reverse art, out of all the $5's that are FRN's or FRBN's with such a deep, rich color of green.
