Hudson, Wisconsin. Hudson County Bank. 1856 $5. PMG Fine 12.

Hudson, Wisconsin. Hudson County Bank. 1856 $5. PMG Fine 12. No. 907. Plate A. A great rarity despite the grade assigned. This $5 Obsolete issued by the Hudson City Bank does well to represent a bank that ultimately failed in 1862 and whose notes were clearly redeemed in quantity by the State Comptroller's office in the years and decades that followed. Naturally few survivors were left for the benefit of collectors, but somehow this example survived and offers a glimpse into a particularly pleasing design. At center, one may observe a vignette depicting a trio of surveyors taking account of the vast frontier while the subsidiary vignette seen at left is notably shared with the T-11 $5 and T-18 $20 issued under the authority of the Confederate States of America. PMG comments "Corner Tip Missing." Estimate: $800 - $1,200. Provenance: From the Caine Collection. Click here for certification details from PMG.
