Lot 3484		1882, $10 National Bank Note. Wisconsin NB of Milwaukee, WI. . Fr-485. . KL-1191. Second Charter Brown Back, Charter #4817. CGA graded Gem Uncirculated 67. An absolutely gorgeous example of a brown back National Bank Note Ten. The centering of both sides is terrific, the original brown overprint is pronounced across the entire front of the note, not just on the seal and serial numbers, and the vivid green back color is the quality of the note when it was printed. Wisconsin Tens are truly scarce in this top grade and this imposing example, with its vivid brown and teal back, is sure to attract considerable bidder attention. Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
