Lot
72357 is one of the highlights of our May Collectors Choice Online Auction.
This Nationale Bank Pick 48a 1 Pond from 1899 is in a PCGS VF 25 holder. This
important piece is the first of the type we have handled, and there are none on
the PMG population report. This extremely rare note is free of any net
comments, and displays excellent detail overall, especially for the grade.
Manuscript signatures and a partially handwritten date of 1899 can be observed
in the appropriate panels. President Paul Kruger is pictured at left. A
watermark of the bank name can be seen when the note is held against the light.
It carries an estimate of $6,000 to $7,000.
