Kankakee, IL - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The City NB Ch. #(M) 4342Although this bank is quite common in the 1929 series, there is a different story altogether with respect to large. In the $20 Plain Backs this Very Fine example is a new addition to the census, bringing the total of this type and denomination which have survived to satisfy the collecting lust to a scant two. Moreover, this example is the type printed prior to September, 1925 and bears both a treasury and bank serial number. The other survivor of this denomination and major design type was printed after September 1925 and bears the bank serial number twice, making each the sole known example of its specific type, variety, and denomination. While the margin just touches at bottom, and there is a light overlay of circulation evidence, the officers' signatures are dark and vivid. How long it will be before another of this variety is made available to the community is pure speculation. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com
