Bowdoinham, ME - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The National Village
Bank Ch. # 944 PMG Very Fine 20 Net.An exceptionally rare Maine bank which issued First Charters and Brown Backs only before closing in 1890. Just two notes are reported, neither of which has made a public appearance in over a dozen years. This $5, which last crossed the auction block in our 2013 Long Beach auction, does have some tape repairs, but it still displays nice color, clear pen signatures, and an appealing bank title layout.
