Second National Bank of Bucyrus. Fr. 467. Charter #3274. Brown Back. A beautiful Crawford County note that displays wide nearly even margins, strong ink, bright premium paper, and bold ink signatures. Nothing grades finer at PCGS Banknote.  Great eye appeal!

Small Red Seal. Bust of Silas Wright, a prominate figure in government in the 1830’s-40’s. Excellent centering and color far superior than one would expect. Although not mentioned, there is a small upper margin tear right corner.  PCGS Banknote has only graded 7 Fr. 1197’s in higher grade.

Satiny white luster and clean surfaces for the grade.

A premium near-Gem with bright, satiny luster and strong cartwheel brilliance across both sides. The strike is crisp, with well-defined hair detail and a bold eagle.

Well struck with rich satiny surfaces and minimal marks.

A superb Gem Proof that is sharply struck with deeply mirrored fields and bold, fully defined devices throughout. Both sides display attractive light champagne-gold toning with subtle iridescent accents, enhancing the strong eye appeal.

A beautifully preserved Gem Proof with deep mirrored fields and frosted devices.

CAC. R-6. Obverse similar to regular issue Liberty Nickel but UNITED STATES OF AMERICA replaces the surrounding stars. A large Roman numeral V within a wreath is on the reverse with E PLURIBUS UNUM above. This is a highly attractive proof showcasing strong cameo contrast and refined design detail.

R-7. Similar to the regular issue Shield Nickel without the ornamental ball at the base of the shield. Stuck in copper with a plain edge. This is a well struck and mark-free example with faded red blending with iridescent blue-brown toning.
