A Tantalizing Lightly Circulated Plain Back $5 from San Diego San Diego, California. $5 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 604. United States NB. Charter #10391. PCGS Currency Extremely Fine 45 PPQ. A real treat in technical terms for the discerning specialist. This lightly circulated $5 Plain Back issued by the United States National Bank of San Diego (Charter# 10391) is a particularly pleasing example for this well-collected bank which records 43 pieces in the National Bank Note Census. Here signs of light circulation can readily be observed throughout and comes complemented by signatures attributable to Cashier Melvin Noble Watson and President J.R. Russell and vivid color that speaks to a degree of originality often lost with time in commercial channels. Yet perhaps the most significant thing about this piece is that it stands as one of the finest known for the Series of 1902 on this particular bank and offers a level of eye appeal that honestly outshines the grade assigned. Held together with the well-known fact that San Diego Nationals are already well-collected, bidders have here an opportunity where both caution and thrift are best disregarded. Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000.

Estimate:£2,242.57
