Chicago, Illinois. $50 1882 Date Back. Friedberg 562. The Corn Exchange NB. Charter #5106. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ. This absolutely incredible 1882 $50 Date Back is the finest example of the type that PMG has graded by a large margin. The design elements on this note are boldly inked with strong details seen in the vignettes: <em>Washington Crossing the Delaware</em> at left and <em>Prayer for Victory </em>at right. The overprints are deep blue with the verso well printed in green. Sharp machine printed bank officers signatures are found on the face while bold overprint embossing is clearly evident on the back. Four boardwalk margins frame the exceptionally well printed plate impressions on both the face and back. The Corn Exchange National Bank was chartered in December 1897. It issued $6.7 million in Nationals Bank notes before liquidating in September 1924. Eight $50 Date Backs remain from this bank, although none approach the quality of this example. <em>From our (Stacks) sale of March 1995, lot 1112; Dr. Edward & Joanne Dauer. </em>
