"Dickinson, TX - $5 1929
Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 12855
An extremely rare note from the only bank chartered in this tiny
Galveston County community. This is the nicest of the four Series
1929 examples in the census, and one which traces its pedigree
back to the Irish collection sale of August, 1997. No note from
Dickinson has been offered since 2005, when a very well circulated
and quite low end specimen realized over $1400, making it very
likely that our estimate for this pleasing Fine-Very Fine example
will prove quite conservative. From The Lone Star Collection"
