Mystic Bridge Lazy Deuce
Mystic Bridge, CT - $2 Original Fr. 387 The First NB Ch. # 251We sold this note as part of our Long Island Sound collection offering a year ago, when we described it as follows: "An excessively rare note from a bank which has seen only three offerings at public sale during the past sixty years. Although the census shows four notes known, two of that number have been off the market for decades, leaving only two that are available to this generation of collectors. The only other offering in the past fifteen years saw a Series 1875 $5 grading VF 20 fetching $13,800 at the 2009 Memphis auction. This is the sole Lazy Deuce reported from this institution, which was the only issuer in Mystic Bridge, making this a very rare opportunity for one fortunate collector to add a new town to his holdings. Evenly circulated PCGS Apparent Very Good 10, with the Apparent grade levied only because of a couple of meaningless edge splits that affect nothing." The note fetched nearly $9,000 in that sale, and should be worth every cent of that figure again tonight.
