Central City, Colorado. $5 1875. Fr. 401. The First NB. Charter #2129. Very Fine 20.，National Bank Notes that feature black charter numbers are considered rare, as just ten issuing banks are confirmed to have used them. They were printed from plates that had the charter numbers in black and in a different font than the typical red numbers used on most others. The Central City National Bank was the only Territorial issuer who used this feature. This note displays average circulation and very nice eye appeal for the grade. Clearly legible pen signatures are noted. Some minor professional restoration of the top left margin is reflected by the PCGS comment: "Restorations." This is just the fifth offering of such a note in over ten years; the last to sell was a nearly identical PCGS Very Fine in our 2016 August ANA Worlds Fair of Money auction that realized $19,975.From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
