Bethany, First NB, M8009
Fr. 588 $5 1902RS
Grade: VF, sun-faded

There are 17 large notes reported on this one-bank town in northern Missouri. This Red Seal, however, is very rare, being the first reported Red Seal out of a miserly printing of 540 total sheets. It is also very faded, possibly from being exposed to sunlight for a long period. Fortunately the pen signatures of Olin Kies, President, and Chas. H. Lewis, Cashier, did not suffer as much. --- Jess Lipka Red Seal Collection --- Jess Lipka Red Seal Collection
