Oil City, Pennsylvania. Oil City Bank. Sept. 15th, 1864. $5. Choice Uncirculated. Proof.(PA-380 G6a) ABNC. India paper only. Green border and protector tints. Vignettes and die counters in black. Two women at bottom left. Wonderful depiction of Union soldiers in camp entitled News From Home near upper center. Washington seated at desk in frame at lower right. There were no Proofs from the Oil City Bank in the 1990 ABNC sale. Our consignor acquired this note from the sale of the John J. Ford Jr. Collection. The impression and colors are superb. The paper is fully margined, bright and free of any distracting issues. This is one of the most desirable Pennsylvania Proofs to become available in recent years and really is worth whatever it will take to secure it.
