Description
Worcester, MA- City Bank of Worcester $5 18__ as G8 Proof PCGS Banknote Gem Unc 65 PPQ.The City Bank of Worcester was organized in 1854, commencing active operations in September of that year, and remaining in business until 1864 when it was succeeded by the City National Bank of Worcester. The note has a marvelous occupational vignette depicting leather tanning and shoemaking activities surrounding a shield containing a bull head. There are two red FIVE protectors over the signature lines which each have the usual small POCs. The note is printed on India paper mounted on card which is, in turn, mounted on a Danforth Wright archive book card. This spectacular note is one of three examples that were part of the ABNCo Archive holdings that were dispersed in 1990. We are confident that there are probably few, if any, additional extant Proof survivors of this design beyond the three ABNCo Archives examples. We auctioned the sheetmate Plate B note to this Plate A example for $960 in our 2020 FUN Currency Signature Auction as part of The Charles R. Pease, Jr. Collection.
