Description

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. $5 1902 Red Seal. Fr. 587. The Mellon NB. Charter #6301. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.

Established by the prominent Mellon Family of Pittsburgh, the Mellon National Bank has the distinction of being one of the few banks to issue Series of 1902 Red Seals in considerable quantity. Today over 100 examples of this prohibitively rare type are recorded on this charter by the National Bank Note Census. However, among those, a very small number of notes bearing single digit serial numbers are known like the example above which displays strong eye appeal and originality that arguably outstrips the assigned grade.

Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
