Description
An Extraordinary Uncut Sheet from Northern Louisiana
A Gem Destined for an Elite Collection
Uncut Sheet of (6) Providence, Louisiana. $10 1929 Ty. 2. Fr. 1801-2. First NB of Lake Providence. Charter #6291. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58. Serial Number 1-6.
Hailing from Providence; albeit not the one you're expecting up in New England. The town of Providence is situated in East Carroll Parrish and sits well off the beaten path on the Mississippi Delta. Home to one of the thousands of National Banks to be organized in the first decade of the Twentieth Century; the First National Bank of Lake Providence began life in 1902 before falling victim to a merger in 1996 well after the end of the National Banking era in 1935. Attested to by a sizable numismatic legacy of approximately 44 notes recorded by the National Bank Note Census; notes from here aren't exactly rare, but when held against the fact that Louisiana Nationals are tightly held and that few sheets from the Pelican State are ever offered at auction, this is a chance to be had for an elite collector seeking to assemble an incomparable set of Louisiana Nationals without better or equal. PMG comments "Foreign Substance."
Estimate: $15000.00- $25000.00
