Description

One of Two Fr. 685a $50 Plain Backs Known

New York, NY - $50 1902 Plain Back Fr. 685a The Bank of America National Assoc Ch. # 13193 PMG Very Fine 30.
This bright mid-grade example of an ultra-rare Friedberg number made its last appearance in our 2014 Long Beach auction. Just two pieces are reported for this rare number, this note and one other, a Serial Number 1 example which has never been offered at public sale. This offering features pleasing color, even wear, and bold BEP-engraved signatures. It realized over $30,000 eleven years ago and, considering that it is just as rare today, it could approach that level again. For the advanced collector of Nationals by Friedberg number, this rarity is certainly a "must have" to bring home tonight.
