What an incredible rarity this is! It is notes like this $5 Brownback that turn good collections into great ones. In business for a short five years, this institution closed in 1905. Ten years later, all but $275 of its circulation had been redeemed. Today, only this single example remains. This auction appearance will be its first, and you can expect a battle will ensue. It is as pretty a note as any collector could hope for. Beautifully signed by James. L. Gates, President and D.E. Pederson, Cashier. Graded Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ by PCGS.
