Charter #4730 • Type 2 • Crisp Uncirculated Original**
A sharp and fully original 1929 Series $5 National Bank Note from the First National Bank of Duquesne, Pennsylvania, Charter #4730. This is a desirable Type 2 variety with exceptional paper originality and strong visual appeal.
This note was pulled and saved since issue, and the originality shows immediately. The paper is crisp with strong embossing throughout, bright color, and excellent centering for the type. Surfaces are clean and fresh, with only a few minor corner bumps and one tiny 1mm corner fold that does not enter the face design. Based on its originality, embossing, and eye appeal, this example easily earns a Crisp Uncirculated grade.
Duquesne is a scarce Western Pennsylvania issuer, with only 65 small‑size and 17 large‑size notes recorded for the charter — a tight census that keeps demand high.
