Description
Gem Uncirculated Serial Number 1 $10 Brown Back
Ridgway, Pennsylvania. $10 1882 Brown Back. Fr. 487. Elk County NB. Charter #5014. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Serial Number 1.
A note from a common bank from the rural hinterlands of Pennsylvania. Yet to merely stop at "common bank" would amount to nothing more than a grave disservice that overlooks what places this note among exceptional company. Graded Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ at the hands of PMG, that distinction is but a single piece of the proverbial puzzle. If one were to look to the bottom of the vignette entitled Franklin and Electricity one will immediately notice the bank serial number of 1 indicating that this note was a part of the first $10-$10-$10-$20 sheet delivered to the Elk County National Bank in the mid 1890s. Befitting a piece of such uncommon qualities, each element of the design beckons with a degree of originality often foreign to something printed almost 130 years ago. From the penned signatures from Cashier Madison Sylvester Kline and bank President Jerome Powell which appear as if they were affixed only yesterday to the clarity of the vignettes at left and right and finally the exceptional colors that not only attest to the originality of this piece, but the popularity of Brown Backs regardless of denomination; this note is all but destined to assume a place of honor in whichever collection or dealer's case it may come to grace with its presence.
Estimate: $12500.00- $17500.00
