Leechburg, Pennsylvania. $20 1882 Date Back. Fr. 555. First NB. Charter #5502. PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ.
A scarce type from a bank where large size notes are firmly outnumbered by their small size counterparts. Representative of just one of three $20 Date Backs recorded for this institution by the National Bank Note Census, this example is by far the finest of that trio based on images from old auction listings and available census data despite the uneven cut effected at the hands of some nameless bank employee in the early 1900s. In any case, the penned signature of Cashier C.J. Nieman and stamped signature of President Alfred Hicks remain distinct and readily discernable which adds an additional layer of originality to this wholly original and modestly circulated note.
