Gentry, Arkansas. $5 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 609. The First NB. Charter #12340. Very Good.，A great item which is now just the third example known from this large size only issuing Benton County bank. The bank opened its doors in 1923 issuing $146,000 and stayed in business until 1934. Accounting ledgers show just $290 remained outstanding, making any notes of surviving unlikely. This note, like the other two known are fairly low in grade. The margins are oversized with some edge damage and soiling on the back. The color remains fairly good and the overall eye appeal isnt bad. We expect this note to easily reach or exceed our estimate.
