Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bank of the United States. 1840 $1000. About Uncirculated.
No. 8858. Often seen as a novelty whose infamy needs no introduction to dealers and collectors alike; this example stands among the relatively small number of genuine examples available from the Philadelphia Branch of the Bank of the United States. Featuring a vignette of the bank building at center and portraits of David Rittenhouse, William Penn, and Thomas Paine at the left edges and Robert Fulton, Benjamin Franklin, and Robert Morris at right this example also bears a number of contemporary stamps and endorsements.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.

Estimate: $500.00 - $700.00
