Monticello, Indiana. $5 1875. Fr. 401. The First NB. Charter #2208. PCGS Currency Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. Small Edge Tear at Bottom Right.A treasure that previously was held by Eric P. Newman and is one of just four known for this rare White County charter. It is easily the finest known of that quartet with none of the others seen beyond the Fine grade. The quality is exceptional with very light circulation which allows for stunning detail of this highly ornate design. Columbus in Sight of Land is left and a presentation of an Indian Princess to the Old World at right. The back vignette of the Landing of Columbus, 1492 is terrific with a flurry of silk fibers observed towards the top of the note.
