<B>Cincinnati, OH</B></I> - $5 1882 Value Back Fr. 575b <B>The Lincoln NB</B></I> Ch. # (M)2524<BR> This note bears a very rare Treasury signature combination for Value Backs, with this bank perhaps the only one to issue $5 Value Backs with these signatures. It occurred, as these signature rarities often do, because of a title change, in this instance occasioned by the anti-German hysteria unleashed by our entrance into the First World War. When plates were prepared with the bank's new title in January of 1918, the then current Treasury signatures of Teehee and Burke were used. As no other banks would have been ordering Second Charter Value Backs by early 1918, this institution is likely to have been the sole issuer of this type and denomination with these Treasury signatures. The Friedberg reference lists 575b as "Rare" and assigns no price. Pleasing <B>Fine+++.<BR></B></I><I>From The Thomas A.
