New York, NY - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The Seward NB Ch. # 13045A note which demonstrates the sometimes unexpected challenge of collecting big city notes. This institution was chartered in 1927 and failed less than five years later in 1931, issuing Plain Backs and the 1929 Ty. 1 notes only, doing so under two titles. This Very Fine example bears the first, and scarcer, of the two titles and is the second highest serial number known from here in the latest Hickman-Kelly census. While there is plenty of original paper body left and the signatures are dark and vivid, this scarce item likely was carried as a keepsake, as there are two darker bands of wallet soil at right and left. <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
