1902 $5 Plain Back National - Webster, MA (Charter 2312)
PCGS 40
This 1902 $5 Plain Back from the First National Bank of Webster, Massachusetts, is an example of National Bank Notes, which were issued between 1863 and 1935 across the United States. The Fr. 606 is an interesting piece, primarily due to its connection with individual banks like this one from Webster, giving each note a unique local history. The beautifully engraved portrait of Benjamin Harrison adds a distinguished touch to this classic design.
Graded as Extremely Fine 40 by PCGS, this note shows moderate circulation with carefully maintained integrity. The strong graphics and detailed vignettes retain their vividness, exhibiting excellent eye appeal. The blue Treasury seal and serial numbers provide a striking contrast against the complex black and grey artwork. The paper remains firm and the margins are clean and defined. The reverse showcases the Landing of the Pilgrims, highlighting the intricate artistry that exemplifies the era.
