Fairbanks, District of Alaska, First NB, 7718
This is a note that is always in great demand. Alaska is certainly the last of the American frontier and visions of gold or unbroken vistas come to mind when one holds this note. The Blue Seals from here are actually a bit scarcer than the well-known Red Seals hoard that was discovered by Joe Wells of Topeka, Kansas. This pleasing example with its strong stamped signatures will make a fine addition to any collection. A solid note, completely free of tears or pinholes.

Mesa, First NB, 11130
This incredible double #1 note makes its debut here, in the first major auction where it is offered. It appeared for an instant in 2000 in an online sale, but few people even heard about it. Before that, its existence was not even rumored. Now, the entire collecting fraternity has an equal opportunity to acquire this awesome note. Not only are there just six large #1 notes known on the state, but this is the sole example exhibiting the double #1 serial number. Fantastic stamped signatures and a small amount of fold separation at the edges.

A true rarity from an issue of just 6,000. Only six notes have survived from this entire issue. This was originally a private bank held by Wickersham, who was the president that signed this note, and the cashier was Atwater. This note does have the charter in red on the face. The quality is excellent for this type, and it has margins that are full. It is serial #202.

This is a very sharp, evenly circulated example of a Gold Bank Note. The paper quality is more reminiscent of a VF, but there has been some minor splits and tears addressed by proper restoration. The pen signatures of Frank Mills, Cashier and Henry Miller, Vice President are clear and bold. This is an Original Series with charter #2014. There are 40 notes reported. The note we sold in the Highland Park Collection was one of the best and realized nearly $44,000.

An evenly circulated Fine from the first shipment to the bank, and one of very few known to be true Original Series notes without the charter number. I know it's splitting hairs, but these were a couple of years earlier than most of the notes. Excellent signatures of Mastin and Hooper, and only the most minor restoration, if any.

San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
This is a problem-free example of an Original Series $10 without the charter #1741. This is the true Original Series! Excellent pen signatures of Hooper and Mastin are nicely penned and very clear. This note is the earliest $10 note known on this bank, and it's the finest of the ONLY THREE that exist without a charter number. It was part of the original shipment of Gold Bank Notes to the bank. The grading services are very tough on Gold Bank Notes in general, and they could easily call this a "10", not a "12", but it's the finest of the type.

This is the extremely rare 1875 Series Gold Bank Note of which only 3,600 notes were issued. Only seven notes, one of which is laminated, have survived. A better example realized $74,740 in the O'Neal Collection sale by Heritage in 2005. The note appears to be intact and basically problem-free; a statement rarely made about Gold Bank Notes. It also appears to be at least close to the finest among those known. A true rarity that is seldom seen.

This note was acquired from William P. Donlan in the early 1970s. While definitely not in the upper echelon of notes on this bank, it is well above the majority of known examples. There are two really nice ones, one being the note we sold in the Highland Park Collection for nearly $55,000. This note will be more reasonable. It still has excellent gold toning with, once again, the back showing more wear. Excellent pen signatures.

A rare uncut sheet from this early California bank that was originally chartered as the First Gold Bank of Oakland, and it changed to the First National Bank of Oakland in 1880. This sheet carries a 1915 plate date, and although it's folded between the notes, the notes are quite lovely and the top and bottom selvage is still attached. I could only find two other uncut sheets of California Blue Seals, one from Sacramento and the other from Woodlake. This is a Brownback sheet from Covina and a couple of Red Seal San Francisco sheets. As a state it is very rare in large size sheet form. Notice the outstanding pen signatures.

Williams, Cashier. If you are seeking just one example from this bank, this town or even Orange County, this would be the perfect note to add to your collection.

This is a very attractive, original note with excellent signatures. The Farmers & Merchants Bank is the second rarest bank in Orange County, with only four notes known. This institution issued notes for less than 14 years before closing in 1919. Of the four recorded notes, only two have ever made public auction appearances: a $20 1902 Plainback in G/VG was sold as part of the Krakover sale in 1990, and this note which was once part of the Colver Collection and later the Horwedel Collection.

This note is a PROOF of a type that was never issued by the Continental Bank Note Company for the B.E.P. As the picture indicates, a GOLD overprint to this design for the original $10 First Charter. The overprint is not unlike the one on the early Compound Interest Notes that suffered so harshly from the acidity in the overprint ink. This piece had numerous splits, etc., it has been stabilized and remounted on a card. It is really a rare and cool item relating to the earliest National Bank Note history.

Approximately 94 know for the type in the entire county.

This is a very pleasing VF that has exceptional color and centering. Records show approximately 119 examples known from all banks in America, and the opportunity to find higher quality examples than this one are truly few and far between. If you don't understand, search the Kelly census and you will find there are few qualifying examples and they are just not available.

There are only about two dozen $50 1882 Datebacks from the entire state of Illinois and few can compete with the quality of this beauty. Wide margins all around and jet-black signatures create a note the new owner will be proud to own. A difficult type for an advanced type collection.

This fabulous layout is one of the most interesting designs to come out of the BEP during the "Patent Lettering" period. It is called the "Kaleidoscope", because of the concentric and repeating pattern within the ovals behind the town letters. Just six large notes are reported, three of which are $5 Brownbacks.

Marshalltown, City NB, 4359
Marshalltown had four different National Banks during the note issuing period and all are rare, with only the earliest bank, First National Bank #411, ever appearing for sale. That bank closed in 1928. In fact, none of the banks issued small size notes. Before now the Farmers National Bank was the only other bank to have a known note, but only one note. This bank was the town's latest chartered bank, in 1890, and it lasted until 1908. There were 4,478 sheets of $5 Brownbacks issued and 980 $10-10-10-20 sheets as well. Until now, this bank was absolutely unknown. Each of these two notes are virtually identical and they are only one serial number apart, #953 and #955. These beautiful notes, with excellent centering, have picture perfect pen signatures of F.S. Williams, President and D.T. Deumead, Cashier. There is a hint of a centerfold and a corner bed or two, along with a pinhole. They are fully original and have gorgeous, lightly subdued paper quality that adds character to the quality we wish all Nationals had. These notes were discovered in a Kansas farm auction earlier this year.

This was Covington's first National Bank (hence the title) having organized in 1864. It continued in business throughout the note issuing period, and issued a prodigious number of notes. However, out of 61 large size recorded with this title, only three were $5 Brownbacks. This example has a small repair in the center.

There is no wear on the folds or soil on the note. The Kelly census has recorded 11 small notes to date, but this is the first $20 to show up for auction. The most amazing fact about this $20 is that the bank only printed three sheets!

Three uncut sheets account for the majority of the 29 small size notes listed in the census on this one-bank town. However, according to one collector, many of the uncut sheets known on Louisiana were destroyed by Katrina. If that is the case, then the stats will change dramatically on this and many other notes. This sheet, however, does exist and it's for sale today. There are folds between the notes and a touch of rust on the "A" position note, as well as a corner fold on the top and bottom notes. There are 24 sheets in the state census, but that will probably have to change.

This uncut sheet is new to the market and is very nearly the last sheet of $10s printed by the bank. There is a fold through the fourth note and the expected corner folds on the first and sixth notes. The other three notes appear to be CU. A rare opportunity to obtain a very special Louisiana ten. Signed by P.E. Peaseter, President and C.B. Ferdon, Cashier. A detailed history of the cashier and former owner, Mr. Clarence B. Ferdon, comes with the sheet.

Richmond is a very scarce location with only seven large size notes reported. This $20 Red Seal is listed as VF in the census, making it the highest grade of known notes. The pen signatures are bold and clear. It's a very decent looking note, not better than say a VF 20.

The president's signature is well penned and strong, but very light. This $5 Brownback from Waldo County is new to the census and is joined by only one other Brownback, a $10.

Dorchester County lies on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and Cambridge was the only town in the county to issue notes. This bank was only in business from 1889 to 1915 and issued just two different sheets, 1,767 sheets of one $50 and one $100 Brownback (which is the other surviving note) and 3,496 sheets of the $10-10-10-20 1902 Datebacks, and this is the other known note. The $100 sold eight years ago and it remains under tight control. This note has excellent pen signatures of the vice president and cashier, and it is attractive and problem-free. It grades VF, probably a "20", maybe a "25", no better, no worse. Old and new collectors should be pleased with the opportunity to acquire such a rarity.

Here is a note that will create some excitement. This special title has 47 large size notes known, but only two are Red Seals. One is a $50 that has been in hiding since 2005. The other is this highly desirable $10 with clearly stamped signatures and phenomenal color. The last time this note was available was when we auctioned it in 1996.

This beautiful $5 Brownback has a super layout and carries one of the best titles in the state. In the 10 + years that the Power Collection was being assembled, this note was never available. Had it been up for auction, you would have seen a battle. No doubt you still will. Totally original with superb pen signatures.

There is a total of 58 Brownbacks recorded from Montana, but most are in strong hands and have little chance of being available anytime soon. This is the top note from a partially cut sheet of amazing quality. We sold the "B" position note in March for just under $20,000. Since the owner has decided to retain the uncut bottom pair, you might give serious consideration to this opportunity. There are a few sheet folds present, but the note could not be more original. The marvelous pen signatures of D.J. Hennessy, Vice President and J.G. Morony, Cashier are icing on the cake.

Auburn, First NB, 3343
Two nearby towns named Sheridan and Calvert merged in 1882 to form Auburn, but their rivalry continued after incorporation. The two business districts went by North Auburn and South Auburn, even maintaining two post offices. This bank was located in what used to be Sheridan. The bank took this second title in 1905. Receivership came swiftly, soon after this note was issued, with the bank closing in 1931. That left a somewhat scarce charter to find in small size, with just 14 pieces recorded. Part of a teller stamp shows on the front.

No other notes, large or small, have been offered according to our data. This example, which is new to the census, is crackling fresh and over a full grade nicer than the note that sold last month.

Here is one you don't see every day. There were two National Banks serving this community of about 800 souls, and both closed in the late 1920s. This bank was organized in 1911 and issued only 1902 Blue Seals until it failed in 1927. Eleven notes are in the census, but only two have ever appeared for sale, both in late 2004. This lovely example is the finest note on the bank and is a piece you will be proud to own. A light center bend and clear embossing, as well as good stamped signatures, allows me to agree completely with the assigned grade. Certainly worthy of a strong bid.

While there are a number of nice grade notes in the census, uncirculated notes are a rarity. As a matter of fact, the note we offer here is the only uncirculated large size on the bank!

A paltry 237 sheets of small size were issued, which explains why a mere six examples remain today. Only one of those has ever appeared at auction. That was a note we sold in 2003 for $2,530, and which was a grade lower than this peach. Prior to that, the only public offering was on a 1985 fixed price list. Certainly an opportunity to acquire a small size rarity that may not be repeated for years to come.

When I saw this note I first thought it was from Oklahoma, but Tecumseh, Nebraska is a much rarer town.

Its equal has not been seen since a 1985 Hickman sale. Worth an aggressive bid.

Unfortunately, this note has some damage and pieces missing around the edge, but the body of the note is OK, with the "Circus Poster" layout unaffected by the problems.

Argyle, First NB, E8343
Here is a phenomenal New York rarity that is sure to create some excitement. The bank issued 406 sheets of Red Seals, 2,871 sheets of Blue Seals and hardly enough small size to count. Track & Price, with access to data that covers decades of price lists and auction appearances, has never seen a note offered on this bank. The census shows a #1 Red Seal does exist, but there's no telling where it is. Small size notes are unknown. This would be a noteworthy lot if the note were VG, but for a clean and full-margined example with fantastic pen signatures, we're talking about an item that might appear once in a decade. The kind of note that makes collections great. A plethora of pinholes will certainly be overlooked by discerning bidders.

This rare National Bank Note error is completely missing the brown seal and serial numbers. I find not even a hint of paper disturbance where the brown ink might have been removed, and the note is 100% natural and unwashed. I can even tell you that it was a Type 2, as a trace of embossing remains of the charter number to the right of the bottom left serial number. My guess is that two sheets stuck together so this note got the embossing but not the ink. An impressive error and very rare on a national.

This tiny Cincinnati institution issued only $5 Brownbacks and was in business a mere 16 months, from early 1886 until June of 1887. The outstanding in 1916 was $610. The "Old West Saloon" layout, the unique type style used for "Cincinnati" and the vanity cashier's signature all combine to make this note a rarity of the first order. Oh yes, this is the only note known on the bank. There is a skinned area on the back. First seal.

Cleveland, Merchants NB, 773
This is my greatest pleasure to offer of any note I have in this auction. There are 71 $100 First Charter examples known in total: 20 Original Series and 51 Series of 1875. Within those numbers, virtually half can be eliminated because they are not as high grade, and probably many of the VFs as well. This note is a perfectly evenly-circulated note that is problem-free and has complete originality and great front centering, tilted just a hair on the back. The colors are bold and rich. This is definitely a note for type collectors in general and, of course, local and state collectors would be remiss if they did not give this note serious consideration. This bank issued only First Charters between 1865 and 1884 with 1,400 sheets of one $50 andone $100 Original Series, and 2,484 sheets of one $50 and one $100 Series of 1875. National Bank Notes as types have long confused collectors, but the fact is they are extremely rare as types and, as more collectors recognize their rarity, the price will undoubtedly continue to rise. Don't wait to act if you can act now; few pleasing, pretty examples are ever seen outside of the finest collections and chances are few to acquire those examples outside of institutions.

Tiffin is the seat of Seneca County and was founded in 1821, named for Edward Tiffin, Ohio's first governor. Tiffin's location on both banks of the Sandusky River and near three major rail lines brought people through the town regularly, as well as giving the town an outlet for its iron and agricultural products. By 1888, Tiffin was home to six newspapers, 14 churches and two banks. Tiffin was also the home of the Tiffin Glass Company. Pretty much a type note, but at least it has a cute layout.

Also, it's one of the better town names in Ohio. There is only one other $5 Brownback known, and since we sold it in our 1996 Memphis sale, it has not reappeared.

Today the population has swelled to over 26,000, and the climate is considered to be "high desert". This National Bank Note bears the date December 24, 1918 and is the only note known to have survived from this short-lived bank, that only printed 862 sheets. The town's other National Bank was only in business for five years and has one large size note reported from 382 sheets. Even adding these numbers together you have an incredibly rare location.

Wow! This is quite a jewel to come into the office at the last minute for our December sale. The overall quality of this double-denomination looks better than the technical grade. Current research indicates there are four notes of this variety known from the entire nation! Each of the four banks would have had a sheet that flipped, so to speak, causing the TWENTY DOLLARS back to be printed with a $10 face, and the opposite on the bottom when looking from the face. The two center notes would be $10 inverts. These are as rare as any error note you will find, and to have been saved is even more improbable, but it was and this is a truly special opportunity to acquire this note. Consider it closely. The signatures are clear and the color very good. A great error note.

A few years ago this would have been just another Pennsylvania note that "looked a little different". It just goes to show how a little study in an area can highlight what is significant. And what is that, you ask? Well, first, we have a note from Group 11, featuring the Baroque font used for the letters in "National Bank of". Then there is the distinctive tombstone, with the wheat stalks at either end. Even the town name shows similarities to the elegant style font of Group 15. Finally, the note is unique as a $5 Brownback, being the only example in the census. There is nothing not to like on this middle-grade note.

Other than a low grade VG I sold in 1999, there have been no others. This is one of three notes known from this rare bank that was chartered in 1880 and liquidated in 1894. There are two Territorials and a State issue known. There were 3,510 sheets of Territorials and 770 sheets of State notes printed. This leaves little room to assume more could appear. This note is quite nice with good body and is problem-free. W.R. Stebbins and Alvin Fox were the signers. A chance to acquire a piece of the history of the Old West is in your hands.

It was an important commercial center for the Confederacy during the Civil War, as its remote location kept it out of the reach of Federal troops.

I know that this note appeared somewhere a few years ago, but I never knew what happened until it appeared in the mail! Imagine my surprise! There were five National Banks in the town of Everett over the years and until this appearance only two were known. Both banks were around less than 10 years, with about 4,000 sheets of Brownbacks issued. Snohomish County must have been a happening place at that time as three banks were chartered in 1892, and this one in 1901. This bank was liquidated barely seven years later. The signatures on this note seem to be Chesney and Moody.
