Otego, New York. Bank of Ortego. Nov. 15, 1861. $2. PCGS Currency Fine 15.(NY-2145 G4a). November 15, 1861. National Bank Note Company. Attractive green inks on the frame, large "2" protectors, and guilloche. Resting farmer holding a scythe at center. This vignette is also seen on the State of Arkansas post-Civil War issues. The bank was relatively short lived, seeing operations from 1861 to 1867. The Gordon Harris example was a vile rag and still brought $250. This ex: Newman note first sold for over $550. We sold a lovely $5 note, grading Fine, in our 52 Collection which realized $2,185.
