A great quality note that is absolutely the finest known in private hands. If the word I have is correct, the #1 note known has seen extreme sun fading since it was sold, by John Ford, to a western museum. One of the other four is laminated and the other two are lower grade, so there are really only three collectible notes. I don't know how much rarer it gets than this. This note was last offered in 1988 in the Gil Steinberg Collection that was sold by Stack's. The pen signature of the president, Frank Miller, is fully legible but of the cashier's I can only make out Edgar. There has not been another in public hands since 1991!
