Description
Spectacular First Charter $10
Charlestown, MA - $10 1875 Fr. 417 The Monument National Bank
Ch. # 1005 PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.A simply spectacular note from a rare Massachusetts bank which issued First Charters and Brown Backs only before liquidating in 1905. The census shows just six examples extant, including this piece, which is one of four Series 1875 tens from the same sheet. The first note from this bank to be publicly offered in almost twelve years, this example traces its provenance to The Amon Carter Collection and was last on the market in 2007 when it fetched almost $20,000. (Interestingly, Track & Price says it sold for $18,400 while the National Currency Foundation census claims it brought $19,200.) While that price (whatever the actual number) might seem high, this is truly a monster of a note, with near perfect face centering, fantastic color, gorgeous pen signatures, incredible eye appeal, and great historical significance, as its title refers to the Bunker Hill memorial monument in Charlestown. This is a real peach of a note fit for the finest of collections.
