One of the #27 Large Size notes in the Census for this Suffolk County Bank. #0 Small Size
Third-party graded P.C.G.S #40 Extra Fine, showcasing vibrant inks and a distinct red seal overprint. The “New England Trim” is not a flaw but a historical reflection of the region’s banking practices. The margins have been trimmed; the $2 Lazy Deuce term refers to the practice of bank employees trimming note edges to fit cash boxes originally designed for obsolete notes. This was a common practice in Boston and Massachusetts, extending to banks as far as Bangor, Maine, and Upstate New York. Three pinholes are present in the center of this example. Only seven $2 Lazy Deuce Nationals are documented for this charter out of the 27 Large Size notes in total. Census records indicate just two 1875 Series have been sold since 2011. Sharp-looking note for being mid-grade.
