Ch 844  $2 Original Series. The Merchants NB of CINCINNATI.  PMG Very Good 10. The Merchants NB was the only Cincinnati bank that issued Lazy Twos. This note is the only deuce
 reported, a status it has enjoyed since 1979. I've owned the note three times - its nickname is 'boomerang'. At the ANA show in 1979 I purchased it from Allen Mincho - it had traveled to that
 show from a Hollywood coin shop. Several years later I sold it to a very avid and persistent Cincinnati collector. His collection was later dispersed and I bought the note in a Heritage auction.
 Twenty years later another avid and persistent Cincinnati collector talked me into parting with it - well, these notes were meant to circulate.  Tragically he died only a few years later and I became 
 this jewel's owner for the third time. Here it is, one of a kind and likely to stay that way. Is there an avid Cincinnati collector willing to step up? Here's your opportunity!  Serial 4242. $15,000
