A beautiful red underprint Proof printed by the National Bank Note Company. Portraits and vignettes are first rate on this well preserved example. It has six POCs along the signature lines that have dislodged the paper of the note, but not the underlying cardstock.

New York, NY- American Exchange Bank $5 18__ G20aP Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ, 4 POCs.
A near-Gem example of this green-tinted proof from a long-lived New York City bank that nationalized in 1865. Produced by the ABNCo, it is mounted on cardstock and is certainly an impressive example of the engraver's craft.

Gettysburg, PA- Bank of Gettysburg $5 G32 Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ, 6 POCs.
A rare ex-ABNCo sale Proof mounted on cardstock from a bank of great historical interest, as this institution acquired a national charter and became the Gettysburg National Bank a mere two years after this rural community was the scene of perhaps the most decisive battle of the American Civil War. This is a lovely example from this bank and is far nicer than $5 Proof from this institution that we offered as part of our Newman sales over four years ago.

Norristown, PA- Bank of Montgomery County $50 18__ G56 as Hoober 281-10 Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63
The $50 design incorporates a striking central vignette of an eagle with an olive branch and arrows in its talons standing on a federal shield with state flags in the background. This is complemented by oval portraits of Franklin, Washington, and William Penn. The note is printed on India paper with the usual small POCs in the signature lines. PMG mentions a small internal tear which is not blatantly obvious through the holder but may be above the "n" in "demand". There were four examples of this note in Lot 1616 of the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale.

"There are several varieties in different denominations. depicted as a scene of terror and adventure on the high seas, as seal hunters try to fend off a fierce polar bear that seems determined to board their small craft. The mother ship in the distance is too far away to render assistance. The motif was inspired by the Kane expedition to the Arctic." From "100 Greatest American currency Notes." by Q. David Bowers and David M. Sundman. This polar bear motif appears on a variety of different states obsoletes. It also has an eagle so it fits this set plus my obsolete proofs with eagles.
