Description
Stunning High Grade Cincinnati, Ohio 1875 $100
Cincinnati, OH - $100 1875 Fr. 460 The Metropolitan National
Bank Ch. # 2542 PMG About Uncirculated 55.An outstanding example of this very rare type and denomination that is just about finest known of the 55 1875 $100s listed in the National Currency Foundation census. Just one piece is listed in the census with a CU grade, but that note, on a New York bank, has never appeared at public sale and what its third party grade would be today is simply a matter of conjecture. Either way, the NCF census does not list any other 1875 $100s above the 55 level, leaving this offering as a strong candidate for finest known. Based upon its eye appeal alone, this is a note fit for the finest of collections. It is well margined with bright paper, bold ink colors, and dark pen signatures. The boldy detailed Declaration of Independence vignette on the back maintains a near-photographic quality. It also hails from a very scarce Cincinnati bank that issued First Charter notes only during its brief existence from 1881 until its failure in 1888. By way of comparison, we auctioned an Original Series $100 from a Massachusetts bank, in a PCGS Choice About New 55 holder, last year for $120,000.
