Description
Stupendous Charter Number 1 Uncut Sheet
Unusual $10-$10-$10-$10 Format
Uncut Sheet of (4) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. $10 1902 Date Back. Fr. 616. First NB. Charter #1. PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ.
A popular charter thanks to one key distinction; the First National Bank of Philadelphia holds the honor of being the first National Bank chartered under the National Bank Act of 1863. Keeping its original charter number for all but 20 years of its existence from 1882 to 1902, notes from this institution are highly popular with collectors thanks to that distinction. Often seen in consort with notes from the Liberty National Bank and Trust Company of Louisville, Kentucky (Charter# 14320) notes from these charters are treated almost as trophies representing the beginning and end of the National Banking era. Even though notes from this charter can be had with regularity; uncut sheets are a different matter entirely. Per records from the National Bank Note Census, the last time a sheet of large size notes from this charter were offered at auction was all the way back in May of 1999. Among a number of rare opportunities presented for your consideration; this item is a trophy waiting to had and one that deserves to be proudly displayed among the holdings of a truly impressive collection.
From the "This Buck Stopped Here" Collection.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
