Description: Description Giddings, Texas. $5 1882 Brown Back. Fr. 471. The First NB. Charter #4410. PMG Very Fine 25. Serial Number 1. Serial Number 1 Texas $5 Brown Back Although Serial Number 1 notes can be encountered with relative frequency in the world of National Bank Notes, the bulk of those are nonetheless represented by notes from the Series of 1902 and 1929. However, those representing earlier types such as the Series of 1882 Brown Back account for a scarce sight even among their Serial Number 1 counterparts. Hailing from a long-lived bank which continues in business to this very day, the First National Bank of Giddings (previously Elgin) was established amidst a period of prosperity for the community which thrived due to agriculture and its proximity to the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway. With a total circulation of just over $250,000.00 in National Currency; notes from this institution should be relatively available. In all, a total of 10 notes are recorded for this institution by the National Bank Note Census which records this as the single Serial Number 1 note for this bank as a whole. This example does not display evidence of spending much of its life as a wallet piece like so many exceptional Nationals from the period that were saved from redemption. A trait that hints that this note may have spent time in circulation before being pulled at the hands of a bank employee who had the foresight to save a souvenir for himself and his descendants where it was then squirreled away promptly for over a century. The signatures of Cashier E.J. Archinard and President A.H. Jones remain plainly affixed in the left and right signature panels while the brownish-red overprint remains distinct against paper that has toned with age. A rare charter in its own right and one likely missing from even the most advanced collections of Texas Nationals, the opportunity to acquire this impressive example should not be taken lightly and in the absence of careful consideration.
