Lot 4879
1902, $5 National Bank Note. . Fr-605. . KL-1162. A wonderful uncut sheet in Crisp Uncirculated condition Quite rare. Uncut sheets are always exciting to own, part of the history of the bank in many instances, many were framed and hung on the walls of their respective institutions. But this also means that many show signs of fading (from sunlight) or glue stains or pin holes in the corners. Others, that were retained by bank officers and their heirs, tended to be folded or soiled in the intervening years. The four-note sheet in this lot is, to use the slang term, "a cut above." No, there is nothing in the way of tears or cuts on it. Instead, this is a very special sheet. First, its quality is A#1, fresh, crisp, wide margined, with vibrant color and bold signatures. Then, for the serial number buff, it has both the bank serial # and Treasury number the same. And what a sexy number: 99999. Five-nines. A wonderful appearing sheet from this Detroit bank.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
