<B>Springfield, OH</B></I> - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 480 <B>The Mad River NB</B></I> Ch. # (M)1146<BR>Although the overall census from here implies a fairly ready availability in large size from this bank, such is not the case at all with the Brown Back design. Our offering this evening, a lovely <B>Extremely Fine,</B></I> is one of only four of its type and denomination traced from here, with the $5 and $20 denominations yet unknown. While clearly circulated, the level of aesthetic appeal is such that this original and unmolested Brown Back could reside without apology in a collection of fully uncirculated material of its type. The paper is bright, fresh and retains considerable snap; the officers' ornate signatures retain the same impact as the day they were laid down and the chocolate color of the brown ink enhances the overall beauty of this well preserved example of the engraver's and printer's art. Whatever the price to be paid tonight for this exceptionally attractive note, it will always be a source of pride and satisfaction for its new owner.
