Valley City, Dakota Territory - $5 1875 Fr. 405 The First NB Ch. # 2548A newly discovered Dakota Territorial example which is offered here to the numismatic fraternity for the first time. Although one Territorial example is listed in the Kelly census, this appears to be in error, as Peter Huntoon's exhaustive Territorial census fails to report any examples on this bank or town. Any Dakota Territorial outside of the aces from Yankton represents a major rarity, with just nine examples reported from all banks in present day North Dakota combined. This specimen grades a very pleasing Very Fine+, with good color and just a bit of visible wear, mostly showing on the back. If rarity and desirability are any guide, expect this Dakota Territory trophy item to likely reach and perhaps exceed... <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
