Santa Barbara, First National Gold Bank, 2104
Fr. 1139 $5 1873 GBN #12
Grade: VG/Fine
The First National Gold Bank of Santa Barbara is certainly one of the rarest of all. A total of only 2,000 $5 notes were issued, and this is one of eight, from Santa Barbara, in private hands. This note can be traced to Harley Freeman and Amon Carter. It bears the signatures of A.L. Lincoln and Mortimer Cook. It has seen its share of wear, but it represents the best there is known, and this is serial #12! There is light, professional restoration to repair earlier damage.
