Lot Title:	1882 $20 Brown Back - De Leon, TX Charter #5660 - VF/small internal hole
Lot Number:	53
Description:	Conrad Sophasath Collection. The First National Bank of De Leon, Texas. Hailing from a longtime collection, this is only the second example known to the cataloger off of De Leon. A small town located on the Leon River, De Leon gained importance from its location on the famous Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, often abbreviated MKT. The "K-T" portion of the abbreviation subsequently evolved into the current reference of "the Katy", memorialized by incorporation of the rails-to-trails project as the Katy Trail. Returning to this remarkably rare and still-appealing twenty, the paper retains a decent degree of freshness for very-fine and the cataloger found only two minor pinholes. Large, dark signatures can only add to the appeal of the note. An extraordinary opportunity destined for certification and subsequent inclusion in a world-class collection!
Estimate:	$12,000-$14,000

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
