$5,000 Bank of the United States Dec. 15, 1840 Philadelphia Obsolete Post Note PCGS Abt New 53PPQ

Sometimes known as the Third Bank of the United States, this bank retained its name but was operating under a Pennsylvania state charter from early 1836 until it suspended on September 4, 1841. This $5000 post note features the bank's headquarters in Philadelphia with a vignette of Liberty seated next to a scroll inscribed POST NOTE 5000 on the left and a portrait of William Penn on the right.  This note has retained original surfaces and exceptional eye-appeal making this an intelligent selection for a collector that's been waiting for this elusive note to surface. It's the first we've owned in several years as they're not nearly as available as they once were.
