1882, $5 National Bank Note. . Fr-472. . KL-1120. CGA Gem Uncirculated 67. This lovely Bank Serial Number 1 New York Brown Back $5 of the 1882 series has unusually deep, strictly original embossing of the type that one associates with later Silver Certificates and U.S. Notes. It's almost never this pronounced on this early type. A Superb Gem, it is also beautifully centered with full fat margins, with its paper color and all the ink colors as bright as the moment the note was pulled from the press. This is an exceptional example of a #1 note, one that is also desirable for the bank of issue. Expect the competition to be heated if you want to take this marvelous note home.
Estimated Value $12,500 - 15,000.
