Slanted 5. Well struck and lustrous with mellow brown surfaces that retain a remnant of mint red.

Well detailed and lustrous with nice clean surfaces.

CAC. Sharply struck with pleasing chocolate brown surfaces and just the barest touch of friction on the high points of the design. The surfaces are problem-free and the excellent eye appeal makes this a more desirable example of this classic rarity than many of the Proof-60 and Proof-61 examples that exist.

Upright 5. Sharply struck with choice glossy chocolate brown surfaces.

Well detail with attractively toned original surfaces.

A choice mint state example from the final year of the series with glossy chocolate brown surfaces and fewer marks than typically seen for the grade.

CAC. Well detailed and lustrous with light toning and friction only on the high points of the design.

CAC. Blast white and extremely flashy with a solid strike and heavy frost on the design.

Farmers and Merchants Bank. Ashland. A lovely note with black ink and large red protectors. A central vignette features a cattle drive. Quite eye appealing!
