Fr. 399 $5 Original
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ

A spectacular First Charter $5 that appears to be one of four lovely $5 Originals saved from this Guernsey County community. I assume it did not grade Gem only because of the somewhat lower centering on the back, because the paper quality and color are unmistakable. It has pen signatures of Isaac W. Hall and T.M. Johnson. It is interesting that the four $5 First Charters are the only UNCs of some 32 large notes reported. I last sold this note as Gem in August 2000 when it was acquired by Don Kelly for his collection. There just aren't many $5 Originals with this quality available, with the most often seen being from the Tradesmen's National Bank of New York City. This note seems infinitely more interesting.
