Tom Bean, TX - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 The First NB
<B>Tom Bean, TX</B></I> - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 <B>The First NB</B></I> Ch. # (S)11019<BR>What a happy day it was when this note strolled into our offices. This is the first large size Tom Bean note to be documented. None of the great Texas collections in the past had an example and that includes the high-powered Philpott Collection. This bank was chartered in 1917, but by 1935 there was only $880 large size outstanding. This town has always been on the top of collector want lists due to its interesting nomenclature. Tom Bean was a surveyor from Bonham and he donated a fifty-acre tract for a town site and railroad right-of-way in Grayson County. The penned signatures of the assistant cashier and president have held up well over the years adding to the romance of this unique item. A small skin mark is found on the back at bottom center, but it does nothing to detract from this historic note. <B>Very Good.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
