This is an extraordinary #1 $5 Brown Back from Pennsylvania. It was the top note from the first sheet printed by the bank, and the bottom note is known as well. Never before have I seen a #1 from a solid charter (#4444) but they would have been as cool then as they are now. This note has signatures of Geo. W. Neidich, President and T.J. Parmley, Cashier. There are fourteen $5 Brown Backs known but only one, other than the #1s, are high grade. Fresh, crispy, beautiful and desirable. Hand picked by John Hickman for a special client!
