United States of America � Milwaukee, WI - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 658 The NB of Commerce of Milwaukee Ch. # 6853. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. There is an eye-catching error on this National Bank Note. This $20 is from the second title for the bank. It changed from the Germania National Bank when the United States entered World War I. The officer signatures were applied with an auto-signing machine, but in this case, they were applied twice: once in their proper places and also across the center of the note. It appears that anomaly did not prevent this note from circulating in commerce for quite some time. Noted with some "Small Edge Tears." An unusual and very rare piece. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20199, realized $900. |
