Owner's Description

Columbus, OH - $50 1882 Brown Back Fr. 515 The New First National Bank Ch. # (M)4443 PMG Very Fine 30.
A captivating face design as adapted from the earlier $50 Original Series notes. Washington Crossing the Delaware is at the left as engraved by Alfred Jones. Louis Delnoce engraved the right end allegorical scene Prayer for Victory. The bank issued large size notes only, but under three different titles. There are currently 33 reported $50 Brown Backs known from the entire state. This second title $50 is a rarity with only three listed on Track & Price. It is the finest known and was acquired by Mike uncertified from Lyn Knight's June 2012 sale. It is beautifully margined all around on both sides. Sharp colors and strong printing have a three-dimensional effect. Noted with "Minor Restoration" by PMG that is not readily visible. These $50 Brown Backs are not easy to find in such an attractive grade. This is a gorgeous rarity.
