First $2 Offering in Over Two Decades
Westerly, RI - $2 1875 Fr. 392 The Washington National Bank Ch.
# 952 PMG Very Fine 25.An important Westerly Deuce that has been tucked away since it last crossed the auction block over twenty years ago, and is now ready to find a home in the next advanced collection. The second of Westerly's three issuing national banks to be chartered, which came in March 1865, only 1,000 1875 $2's were issued for this Washington County bank. With that small number, it is a miracle that this note survived the jaws of redemption. The National Bank Note census shows only two $2s reported for this bank, however the other example has never crossed the auction block. The hand-signed signatures of Cashier Charles Perry and President Nathan Fellows Dixon III paired alongside the bright colors, white paper, and bold ink make for a stunning Rhode Island Deuce. PMG has noted repairs, however they were professionally done and take nothing away from the significance and appeal of this great note.
