Winnemucca, Nevada. $5 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 600. The First NB. Charter #3575. PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ.，This new to the census and higher end Very Fine Winnemucca note certainly is close to, if not the finest large-size known for this Nevada bank. Large-size notes on Nevada are always challenging to come by and their appearance at auction always draws a crowd. This wonderfully bright Very Fine will certainly do just that with a sharp impression of the design and bold President signature of J. Sheehan with hand penned "Vice." The First National Bank of Winnemucca was a much longer lasting institution than most Nevada banks and was the site of a famous robbery in 1900 where Butch Cassidy, also known as the "Sundance Kid," stole $33,000. The last problem free example in a pleasing mid-grade to sell publicly was a PCGS Very Fine 30 graded Five Dollar plain back that brought $7,700 in our March 2017 Baltimore sale.
