Description
Uncut Sheet of (6) Portland, Maine. $5 1929 Ty. 1. Fr. 1800-1. Canal NB. Charter #941. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ. Serial Number 2.
A long-standing fixture of New England and Maine's banking community; the Canal National Bank of Portland can trace its history back to a time when Maine was still part of Massachusetts and operated under the "Canal Bank" moniker. Receiving a national charter in 1865; this institution would have the distinction of being one of the most powerful in Maine going as far to issue Original Series $500 National Bank Notes. By the 1920s, the Canal National Bank was still atop its lofty position issuing tens of thousands of notes bearing the bank's title. However, unlike its counterparts this piece never made it to circulation and instead found itself saved as a souvenir; making this a must have item for a proud Mainer with an inclination towards collecting National Bank Notes. PMG comments "Serial Number 2's."
From the "This Buck Stopped Here" Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
