Newport, Rhode Island – $2 1875 Fr. 391 The Newport NB Ch. # 1492
A scarce and distinctive note from an unusual issuer, as the well-known hoard of “lazy deuces” from this bank consists entirely of circulated examples. This piece, bearing serial number 73, retains vibrant color and bright paper, complemented by clear pen signatures. Graded PMG Choice Very Fine 35, with the comment “Minor Repair” noted on the holder, it remains an attractive and desirable example for collectors.
