$5 1870 National Gold Bank Note Fr. 1136 San Francisco, CA Ch# 1741 PMG VF 25

A high grade National Gold Bank Note worlds removed from the run of the mill examples that are frequently offered. This is a nicely margined and evenly circulated piece whose colors are unusually bright and the all important gold coin vignette on the reverse is sharp and well printed. Most important, it comes without any adverse grading service comments as many come with extensive repairs or excessive damage.  The most recent offering we could find of a PMG VF 25EPQ sold for nearly $17k several years ago and a PMG VF 30EPQ recently sold for $28,800 in a Heritage sale. This one is priced fairly and favorably for a discerning collector that's been waiting for a problem-free opportunity to arise.
