New York, Mechanics NB, 1250
Fr. 397b $5 Original
Grade: PCGS VF 25

Certainly a common enough bank strictly by the numbers but rare as a type. This note bears the first title, with the "& Metals" not being added on until the Third Charter period. A Large only bank which closed up shop in 1926. Superbly margined and centered with PCGS noting edge splits, tears, and minor damage. While there are enough aces and deuces to go around, there are hardly enough Original Series Fives to make anyone happy. There are only two and this is easily the finer of the pair. The next opportunity to obtain one will likely be several years down the road.
