Description
Detroit, MI - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 497 The Preston NB Ch. # 3730Although not uncirculated, this ranks as one of the highest quality Brown Backs we have ever handled. The paper is fresh and bright, the inks appear to have been applied yesterday afternoon, and the embossing is not only fully present, it is cavernous. Over the years, the note picked up a centerfold, along with two other light bends, so the technical grade here must be Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated, but it is the nicest Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated example we've ever handled. This is a scarce bank, with a Kelly census population of only five pieces, and which issued Brown Backs only. If a nicer example from here exists, we've yet to see or hear of it.
