Greenfield, Massachusetts. Greenfield Bank. 1862 $20. PCGS Currency Very Fine 30 Apparent. Small Edge Tear at Bottom Left; Pinholes. No. 880. Plate A. A decidedly rare bank for any denomination in issued form. This mid-grade $20 Obsolete issued by the Greenfield Bank comes anchored by a rarely encountered vignette at center which depicts a dog saving a child from drowning as the child went in trying to recover a toy boat. That composition is notably met by a variety of attractive elements including two female allegorical figures at left evocative of agriculture while an "Indian Princess" can be seen at right. Penned signatures attributable to Cashier Edmund W. Russell and President William Barrett Washburn may also be noticed in uncancelled signature panels lending it a quality unmatched by the example that sold in January 2026 for $1,464. A total of (2) rounded POCs may be seen to the left and right of the title arrangement. This institution ultimately became the First National Bank of Greenfield (Charter# 474) in 1864. PCGS Currency comments "Hole Punch Cancelled; Small Edge Tear at Bottom Left; Pinholes." Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500. Provenance: From the Caine Collection.

Estimate:£448.61
