Petaluma, First National Gold Bank, 2193
There are only two $20 California Gold Bank Notes known on Petaluma and this note is UNIQUE because it was printed on white paper rather than gold paper. The other $20 is the finest $20 I have seen on any Gold Bank and it realized $230,000 six years ago. The only way to have a complete set of Gold Bank Notes is to have both paper types for any bank that issued them. Although not as desirable or likely as valuable as the $20 on gold paper the note offered here is UNIQUE and very desirable as such. There were 2,866 sheets of Gold Bank Notes printed for Petaluma so there were 2,866 $20 notes printed. This note is well used and professionally restored and has excellent pen signatures.

San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
I have been very fortunate over the years to handle virtually every different California Gold Bank Note. Even though there are around 200 serial numbers recorded finding any of them is a real treat. This is my lucky day because I get to handle two different 'white paper' Gold Bank Notes in one sale. There are nine 1875 $20 California Gold Bank Notes reported and several are printed on white paper, but they are excessively rare. This note has been restored and is very solid with decent color yet the trim is a bit uneven on the left side. Excellent pen signatures as well.

San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
There are only a few $20 California Gold Bank Notes in existence, I believe right around 200. Needless to say, this example is closer to the worst than the best. It has been restored and it's solid but very thin from wear. These $20s are definitely rare and very desirable as a type and for the history of the California Gold Rush. This is an Original Series with charter issued between 1873 and 1875. From the W. Horton, Jr. Collection.

San Jose, Farmers National Gold Bank, 2158
This is what most want Gold Bank Notes to look like - yellow and bright with the vignettes of the coins on back that look gold as well. There are 12 Original Series $10 San Jose notes known and that's not many. This note last appeared in a 1973 Bowers & Ruddy sale where it brought $625. In that sale this note was graded VG/Fine and now I call it F/VF. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the grading services called is VF 20 because it is so bright with decent paper quality and overall appearance. I believe of the 10 notes in private hands that none may grade higher today than this example! The pen signatures are bold and as strong as the color.

I am a bit surprised to see that this is the finest known of only three $1 First Charter notes known on the first bank to open in Colorado Territory. The serial #1 sold for $126,500 in 2007; this is not a #1 note, it's serial #286. It has pen signatures of G.W. Clayton, Vice President and Geo. W. Wells, Assistant Cashier. The quality is exquisite and I can see no folds but I suppose the red seal could be brighter. There are only 11 Territorials reported on this bank and seven of those are #1 and would be hard to acquire.

This is an extraordinary Colorado Red Seal from a location with only six large notes reported. This note, with excellent pen signatures, came from our August 2002 sale where it realized $29,900 in heavy bidding. Last summer I stopped here just to see what was happening and this is quite a spot for summer fun with festivals, music and food to entertain you after a day of rafting, hiking, climbing or picking fruit.

South Pueblo & Pueblo, Western NB, 2546
This may be one of my all time favorite pairs of First Charters from the same charter number (#2546) and bank title, yet with two different names - Pueblo and South Pueblo. Records indicate that this bank was chartered in 1882, five years after Colorado had become a state. The South Pueblo title was used until 1893 and there are three notes reported, all $5 1875 Series. The second title was taken in 1893 and there are two First Charters known; this $5 and a $20 that is in an institution. There are other notes on the Pueblo title as well. It's a very rare occasion to get two different names on the same charter and to have them so evenly matched I had to offer them together. A very rare opportunity indeed! Another interesting fact is that there is only 16 state issued $5 First Charters on the state and four are on this charter.

Steamboat Springs, First NB, 6454
This classic Colorado name is on everyone's want list. The Kelly census lists three large and one small note. One of the large notes is a Red Seal that turned up in an abandoned safety deposit box about 30 years ago and was privately placed in a major collection. The other two large notes are both Blue Seals. One, a VG, was sold in the 2005 FUN sale for $16,100. This is the second piece, from an amazingly popular ski resort in Routt County and was obtained from my 2000 Memphis sale. Those two Blue Seals are the only public appearances of any note on this bank in six decades. The unique small size was discovered about 20 years ago and was placed in one of the foremost Colorado collections. This note last appeared in our 2008 sale where it realized $8,800. I might suspect a bit of a price uptick from 2008 as there were so many Colorado notes available at once, but this one has such a great name. There are no distracting marks or problems, although the president's signature is faint. It is also slightly nicer than the other Blue Seal.

Sandersville, Cohen NB, S9641
This is one of the coolest notes I have ever handled and we offered this beauty in June 2000. This was a family named bank and was signed by Louis Cohen, President and C.L. Brewer, Cashier. The bank was short-lived, from 1910 to 1917, and with only 2,324 sheets printed. Of those sheets 1,300 were $5s and 1,024 were $10s and $20s. This town had three national banks and the small size only bank, George N. Warthen National Bank, was a private name as well. This note is a real 'Georgia Peach' but while I graded this XF, a grading service might choose VF/XF.

Saint Peter, First NB, 1794
This note is easily the finest known $10 and it does come with an intriguing bit of lore. The best I can figure out is this: the first three sheets of $10s were issued. An error was found and sheets #4-314 were returned to the BEP. Replacement notes starting with sheet #315 were issued. That makes this note akin to a #1 note as it came from the first replacement sheet. A similar situation exists for the $20s. Until a lower number note turns up we will never know for sure. The consignor has talked to two people who knew the bankers and no record was kept explaining the situation. In the meantime, Claire D. Moll (male) and C.A. Benson are known to us as signers. This note is tied for the finest of the eight small notes reported on this Nicollet County bank. It's been six years since this charter was offered.

A wonderful note from this Wright County bank that has had only one note publicly offered and that was 23 years ago. That's elusive! The president's signatures is penned but the cashier's is missing. Of the five large notes reported none are better than this example. This is another great Missouri town that should be given serious consideration.

This is absolutely one of the highlights of this Missouri offering. A magnificent $5 Original Series from St. Joe's earliest bank. This bank was short-lived, being in business from 1865 to 1878, when St. Joseph was the main shopping point and the beginning of the railroad, as well as the wagon trains heading west. In those day St. Joe was a serious point for the migration of immigrants and settlers heading west to find fame and fortune, or hard work and struggles. This beauty is the only $5 First Charter and there are just two $10s, one is in the Higgins Museum. It's been nearly a quarter of a century since a note on this bank was offered.

The centering of the $10 is over the top gorgeous and the paper and color are as pure as the driven snow across Nebraska. Word has it that this sheet was once uncut, maybe saved all together but there is nothing similar from this bank in terms of quality. Now there are nine large notes reported. With the quality so amazing the two minor bends are meaningless. Omaha was one of the meat packing centers along with Kansas City, Sioux City and Chicago during this era.

Amsterdam, First NB, 1307
We all know that $100 First Charters are few and far between but once in the early 1980s I had 12 at the same time. What a day that was! There are definitely two notes known that are graded higher than this note, a Raleigh National Bank of North Carolina graded Ch. AU 58 and the Blackstone National Bank of Boston graded AU 53 by PCGS. No other $100s have been called XF except this note which is ungraded. I believe it's a VF 35 or XF 40 Apparent as it has had some splits restored along the edges. The centering and color are excellent for the grade and the signatures are bold, black and readable. This is better than all but two Original Series and the 1875 Series. Twelve of the 54 known 1875 Series are in institutions. Of the 42 left to consider it appears 10 could be equal to or better than this note. Anyway you slice the pie, this is a fresh, lovely slice of it in every way.

New York, Metropolitan NB, 1121
This lovely 1875 First Charter $50 is one of the highlights of this, or for that matter any sale of National Bank notes. This is a blue-end paper, or in this case the blue is in the center of the note and it's not too pronounced. The paper quality is very nice and the color is better than the grade. It has exceptional pen signatures and the only flaw I can find are three closed pinholes! Records indicate that there are sixty-seven 1875 Series $50s known in all hands, and there are 33 Original Series $50s known as well. This number includes a total of six National Gold Bank Notes which really need their own category; three of those are in institutions. Now, back to the 1875 Series notes; eight of the sixty-seven notes are in institutions and are unlikely to be available leaving fifty-four 1875 Series and twenty-four Original Series notes. Only 19 of the 59 are comparable or likely better than this beauty with none of the Original Series notes that would grade higher. This note was sold decades ago by Kagin's to a client and that client did well with his purchase.

This is an extremely rare type to find with any condition as there are barely 200 examples known country wide and in all grades. There is a small group of these Chase notes in high grade and most collectors look to this issue for their type notes. This note is from a run of five UNCs that are consecutive. We sold one other in March 2013 at $6,100. This is a very scarce type and if they were cut better they would likely be the finest of the type. This note has nice embossing and bright paper but there is a pinhole. From the W. Horton, Jr. Collection.

Powell, NB, W10565
Park County is a northwestern county in the state and home to such cities as Cody, Meeteetse and Powell. This bank issued only 6,215 sheets of notes. A nice note but the pen signatures could be stronger. We sold a slightly better note in 2007 at $9,775, which was a lot. Since then I've sold this note at $2,530.
