Description United States of America � Fremont, NE - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 493 The Fremont NB Ch. # 2848. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A very rare and early Dodge County, Nebraska note. It is one of only two Brown Backs listed in the National Currency Foundation census and the only $20 denomination. Neither of these have appeared at public auction, making this an excellent opportunity. A handsomely engraved type with the same face layout as the First Charters and 1875 $20 notes. The Battle of Lexington is at the left and Loyalty is at the right end. The brown back shows the charter number in the center. No.1313, Plate A / Y504583. Noted with "Minor Stains" visible mostly on the back. We cataloged and sold only 1902 "blue seals" and small-size notes from this location. This is immensely rarer. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20198, realized $2400.
