Mechanicsburgh, OH - $5 1875 Fr. 401 The Farmers
<B>Mechanicsburgh, OH</B></I> - $5 1875 Fr. 401 <B>The Farmers NB</B></I> Ch. # 2325<BR> This bank was chartered in February of 1876 and was liquidated just a single day after its fifth anniversary, having issued a mere $45,540 in face value of the $5 1875 series. By 1910 a scant $390 face value of its issue remained in the hands of the public. Just $20 of that is now known, including this latest addition to the census, a lovely <B>Extremely Fine </B></I>example<B>.</B></I> All the notes previously in the census are listed at that grade and two of those are just a single Treasury serial number digit away from this note, suggesting that all may have been held by the same owner at one time and that the few light folds are present from storage rather than actual circulation. Subtle margin roughness is noted and there are a couple of pinholes. In a note of such rarity, however, these attributes affect nothing. The officer's hand signed signatures are fully legible, the Cashier signing in black and the more flamboyant President in red. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
