Fr. 609. Evansville, Indiana. 1902 $5 Plain Back. The National City Bank of Evansville. Charter #12132. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.，Bright and fresh with excellent color, good centering and margins. The rubber-stamped bank signatures are in black ink. Nice embossing of the blue overprints is evident on the back. <p><p>The National City Bank of Evansville is a relatively common title, but mostly for the small-size notes of 1929 that comprise the vast majority of survivors, more than 650, in fact! Large-size notes are far rarer with just 25 notes reported. Among them this is the finest graded large-size note on the title by PMG. Even considering all of the Fr. 609 notes PMG has graded, from all banks, just two notes have been graded finer.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from Heritage, September 2008, lot 13445; Heritage, April 2012, lot 15529.，
