Description
Finest Known Fr. 796 $5 Federal Reserve Bank Note
Fr. 796. 1918 $5 Federal Reserve Bank Note. St. Louis. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Serial Number 2.
Firmly atop the PMG Population Report, this note is exceptional in more ways that one. From the crisp originality which stands as a testament to the fact that this was deliberately saved while the extraordinarily low serial number of H2A demonstrates the impetus behind its preservation in a time when $5 accounted for a significant sum of money and a substantial portion of one's weekly wages. Both traits offer a degree of rarity to the present offering which traces it provenance back to the holdings of Bob Cochran. Needless to say one would be hard pressed in locating a large size $5 FRBN at this lofty grade, let alone one featuring a similar serial number. PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
From the Porter Collection.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
