This is one of my favorite Minnesota town names. You couldn't hope for a sharper example, a very lucky occurrence considering how rare this bank is in large size. The Farmers National Bank is more common, but even still, no large size from the Farmers Bank is the equal of this peach. We can find no record of any large note ever being offered publicly from this institution, so this initial auction debut will set the mark for years to come. There are two minute pinholes that become visible when the note is held to the light, but if you love Nationals, they won't concern you in the least.
