Description
Serial Number 1 Utah Territory Lazy Deuce Signed by Brigham Young
Serial Number 1 Salt Lake City, Utah Territory - $2 Original Fr.
389 The Deseret National Bank Ch. # 2059 PMG Choice Fine 15
Net.A wonderful new discovery from Utah Territory that is being presented to the collecting fraternity for the first time. This is the first Lazy Deuce issued by this Territorial bank after it opened its doors in 1872. One of its most prominent features is that it bears the bold pen signature of bank founder Brigham Young as its President. Brigham Young (1801-1877) was the second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1847 until his death in 1877 and led the Mormon pioneers from Nauvoo, Illinois to Utah where they founded Salt Lake City. and where Mr. Young also served as the first Governor of the Utah Territory. This note is one of just 41 serial number 1 Deuces reported for the entire country and the sole number 1 example from Utah Territory, according to the National Currency Foundation census. It has had some repairs but faces up quite nicely for the grade with pleasing color and, as mentioned, the bold pen signature of Brigham Young. Expect to see some serious competition tonight between the Utah specialists and anyone else who appreciates rare trophy nationals.
