Rare Pennsylvania $100 Date Back
New Castle, Pennsylvania. $100 1882 Date Back. Fr. 568. Citizens NB. Charter #4676. PMG Very Fine 25.
A rare type and denomination whose very design harkens back to the 1860s, this note boasts vignettes ripe with patriotic themes and overt symbolism. From the depiction of Commodore Perry transferring his flag to the USS Niagara during the Battle of Lake Erie, one the earliest military triumphs of a newly independent nation to the goddess otherwise known as "Union" depicted at right. The symbolism is hard to miss and speaks to the decades before this note was first issued when the United States was split over the issue of slavery and the valiant effort to preserve the Union amidst a terrible civil war. This individual piece which offers itself quite nicely for the assigned grade will do justice to this gorgeous design in any collection.
