Lexington, North Carolina, Lot of 2 notes, Both are 1860. $5 Issued Obsolete Banknote Pair, Black with red underprint and multiple vignettes including a salve picking cotton and figures together at top, S/Ns 5365 pp B and 8191 pp C, Notes are in VF to Choice VF condition and printed by ABNC. Issued in 1860 by the Bank of Lexington in Davidson County, this pair represents circulating currency from a small North Carolina state-chartered institution operating on the eve of the Civil War. Banks in the Piedmont region supported local trade, agriculture, and small manufacturing, and their notes continued to circulate widely during the conflict. Surviving pre-war issues from smaller North Carolina towns are scarcer than those from larger banking centers, making this pair a desirable example of the state’s early financial history.
