Owner's Description

This bank was established as a national bank around October 2, 1865, the plate date. Although there are 86 large notes reported this is the only $5 First Charter known. Other Original Series notes include two $1's and one Deuce, while most notes known are Third Charters. In fact, according the NBNC this is the only $5 note in existence for this bank, of any charter! However, T&P lists two $5 notes. The one that is not this note is SN 3288 with the same plate position, B. I am positive this was a cataloging error as look at the serial number here, 3283, and you can see how it could easily be mistaken for a 3288. This note is lovely quality with wonderful pen signatures and exceptional quality.
