Lot 5150
Fr-601. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Romney, WV. . Fr-601. . KL-1158. PCGS Fine 12. Although it is well known local lore that the number 1 note exists on this bank, it is unfortunately bolted to the bank's walls with absolutely no intention of ever parting with it. That makes this number 2 note, which by the way is new to the census, even more desirable. Romney is a little one-bank town 30 miles southwest of Cumberland, MD. Situated on the crossroads of Routes 50 and 28, it is one of those small town thoroughfares that many people pass through, but few people stop for. This fresh note is a great find, and as most collectors are aware, number 2's are many times rarer than number 1's.
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,100.
