***Auction Highlight*** 1865 $2 Lg National Banknote Fr-387B "Lazy Duce" Charter#290 The Forth National Bank OF NY Graded f12 By PMG. Up for auction is a fantastic and fascinating rarity A 1865 $2 Lg National Banknote Fr-387B "Lazy Duce" Charter#290 The Forth National Bank OF NY A well circulated but still attractive Original Series $2 from this large only New York City bank that went out in 1914. It is housed in a comment-free holder and the overprint and signatures remain quite bold. All lazy deuces are rare. The nickname derives from the fact that the large two on the front of each bill is laying on its side. At some point someone said the term lazy deuce and it stuck. The two dollar national bank note was discontinued in 1878, so that leaves just a thirteen year production period. Most 1865 two dollar bills are very scarce today
