Description

Excessively Rare Alamogordo, New Mexico Territory $5 Brown Back
One of Two Notes Reported from this Bank

Alamogordo, New Mexico Territory - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 477 The First National Bank Ch. # 5244 PMG Fine 12.
A great New Mexico rarity, this piece is one of just two notes reported from this short-lived issuer that was only in business from 1900 to 1915. Just two notes are reported in the National Currency Foundation census from this rare charter, both Territorials - a $5 Date Back that made its last public appearance in a 1997 auction and the $5 Brown Back we are offering this evening. Crossing the public auction block for the first time, it is a pleasing, evenly circulated example with nice color for the grade. A very rare note certain to be of great interest to both New Mexico and Territorial specialists.
