A Unique Date Back $20 from the Edge of Alameda County
Pleasanton, California. $20 1902 Date Back. Fr. 645. First NB. Charter #9897. PMG Choice Fine 15.
A common charter albeit one where the lion's share of notes recorded by the National Bank Note Census are uncut sheets or notes that can trace their pedigrees back to recently cut sheets. Large size Nationals are nonetheless a scarce sight on this institution which lingered past 1935 and through the 1990s. Out of 40 individual notes recorded, a total of only four large size pieces are listed in the census, including this example. This will herald a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire a type that is unique for the issuing charter and one whose pedigree cannot be traced back over available auction records available through Track & Price. At the risk of beating a dead horse, this is a rare opportunity for the California specialist to acquire a note that will likely remain unavailable for decades once the hammer falls on this lot.
