Elgin – Illinois – FR 567 – CH 2016 – PCGS 40

The Home National Bank of Elgin, Illinois – This is a special note and maybe one of the biggest sleepers on this list. Like most national bank notes, this example has experienced its fair share of circulation however; this type of national bank note is an exceptional rarity. 1882 $100 Date Backs are about as rare as a 1902 $100 Red Seals. With only 136 examples known for all national banks and this example being the finest known for the Friedberg number, finding a nicer example would be a challenge.
