Rodeo, CA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 The First
<B>Rodeo, CA</B></I> - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 <B>The First NB</B></I> Ch. # 11201<BR> Pronounced Ro-Day-Oh (like the Drive), and possessing one of the catchiest names of any California community, this town was missing from every one of the great California collections sold in the past three decades, including such massive offerings as Krakover, Colver and Horwedel. While the census lists two other $10 examples, each considerably lower grade than this $5, both have been ensconced in private collections for two generations, with neither ever having been available to collectors at public sale. This was the sole bank chartered in this Contra Costa County location, and it lasted less than ten years, issuing Blue Seals only before departing in 1928. <B>Fine-Very Fine</B></I> with purple signatures, a true California trophy item certain to see stiff competition before the hammer falls this evening. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
