Description
An Exceedingly Rare Original Series $1 from the Home of Cornell University
Ithaca, New York. Original $1 Fr. 380a. Merchants & Farmers NB. Charter #729. PMG Fine 12.
Hailing from a community best known for its association with Cornell; Ithaca was home to three National Banks from 1864 through the end of the National Banking era in 1935. Of those three institutions; the Merchants & Farmers National Bank had the briefest existence of those in Ithaca. In business as a National Bank from 1865 to 1873 this institution which began life as the Merchants and Farmers Bank issued only $67,700 in National Currency before falling victim to liquidation in June 1873. Today just three examples are currently recorded on this institution by the National Bank Note Census making this a rare opportunity to acquire a note from a prohibitively rare charter that hasn't been offered at auction since June 2009.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
