Pueblo, Colorado Territory. $1 Original. Friedberg 382. The First NB. Charter #1833. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. The First National Bank of Pueblo was chartered as a Territorial bank in June 1871. It would issue $3.35 million in National Currency notes through the end of the note issuing era in 1935, including 1,500 sheets of Territorial Aces. This wonderful note comes from a small run of high grade examples that have long been disbursed among collectors. Most have remained very tightly held over the years. This example is sharply printed in vivid inks. A bold red spiked Treasury Seal is featured near the upper right portion of the note with red serial number 574 found above. The bank officers signatures, two members of the Thatcher family, are exceptionally well penned in striking inks. This note offers well cut paper that is creamy white and free of any distracting qualities. PMG has added a "Good Embossing" comment on the back of the holder. <em>From Heritages sale of September 2008, lot 13272. </em>
