1918 $5 Federal
Reserve Bank Note, CGA Gem Unc.-65, Serial # D161A.
From the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland, with Teehee-Burke signatures. Excellent
quality, with the vivid blue serial numbers and Treasury Seal adding to the
aesthetic appeal. The low serial number contributes further appeal.
The back design of this note features the vignettes of Columbus in sight of
land, and, at right, the landing of the Pilgrims, two scenes that embody the
beginnings of European influence on the Western Hemisphere and a greater
understanding of world geography. From the Harry W. Bass, Jr. collection,
lot #182; earlier from the Robert F. Schermerhorn
collection. Price: $1,600. (SOLD)
