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.

This gorgeous 1875 NBN from Paris, Illinois came from a last second cut bid during a live auction. The note was ungraded and I knew the centering would be an issue but the grade was more than acceptable. The reverse is one of great beauty. An image of DeSoto discovering the Mississippi adorns the reverse of the $10 note.There are other notes in this surviving lot of 41 $10 and $20 1875 notes listed in Track and Price. All are high quality. These notes provide a great opportunity to own incredible quality 1875's at relatively reasonable prices. Other notes had mounting remnants noted by graders. My guess is some of the sheets were mounted in a bank or somewhere like that. The "previously mounted" noted on this slab is imperceptible to my eye.

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.
