<B>Bakersfield, CA</B></I> <B>- </B></I>$10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490<B> The First NB </B></I>Ch. # 6044<B></B></I><BR> The first of an incredible Brown Back number 1 trio. This comes from a prohibitively rare Bakersfield bank which, despite a census population of eight confirmed pieces, was missing from every great California collection sold in the past twenty years, including both Colver and Horwedel. In fact, the last offering of any note from this bank came when this example was sold by Hickman Auctions as part of the Philip Krakover collection in March of 1990. There John, who was not one to enthuse in print about most notes, called it "A true blockbuster of a note. Rare, choice, and serial number 1, A position with full top margin intact. Pen signed in brown ink by E.D. Buss and Frank S. Rice Vice....One of the highlights of this entire collection. Notes of this caliber are only rarely available and are worth whatever they bring." <B>Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated,</B></I> a spectacular note from the very last bank in the state which could have issued Second Charter examples. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
