Ex - Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc.'s "Texas Collection," January 4, 2001, Lot 4128, where it was described as follows: "1875 $5 First Charter, Fr-401, VG-Fine. Previously offered in the Bass Collection Sale by Bowers & Merena, where it was described as: "A pleasing note, but signs of heavy circulation are obvious. Slight roughness is noted at the top edge, just interfering with the design border. The ink has long since flaked away in areas of heavy creasing, and an ink erosion hole is visible at the signature of the cashier. Regardless of the condition, the note remains quite rare and very desirable as such. The Kelly reference reports only a single note known from this bank. Not surprising as only $430 are believed to remain outstanding. To the best of our knowledge, this note has never before appeared in a public offering."

This bank was only in business a brief four years, from 1874 to 1878, and issued only First Charter notes. This unique offering may not be repeated again for a generation or more, and Dallas specialists are certain to bid with considerable excitement."
