<B>Holbrook, AZ</B></I> - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 <B>The First NB</B></I> Ch. # (P)12198<BR> This bank has an interesting story behind its curious census, which stands at ten large examples. This figure is quite deceptive. Seven of the ten notes are low grade and somewhat damaged, as they were discovered in the so-called "Snowflake Hoard" in northern Arizona thirty years ago. The notes were buried in a tin can and suffered some rust and water damage, with several missing small pieces or showing other defects. That leaves only three pieces from here that are truly collectible, one Very Good, one Fine and one About Uncirculated. This specimen is new to that listing, having just been discovered and offered here for the first time to the collecting community. It is an evenly circulated and utterly problem free example with bright colors and strong blue signatures. Somewhat superior to the Fine example in the census, which changed hands in 2006 at $13,800. <B>Fine+,</B></I> a great note from this avidly collected state. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
