Tucson, Consolidated NB, 4287
Here is an amazing find - a gorgeous looking Tucson $5 that looks as pretty as it can. I cannot see why it's an AU so I suppose it has a bend that is well hidden. There are 46 large notes reported before the $5 and $10 we have are recorded. Quality notes from Arizona are few and far between and I understand that they come from a banker's family. This note has excellent stamped signatures and amazing color. The last similar one was sold as an UNC at $11,500 and in early 2006 I sold a note for $15,500. This note carries a reasonable estimate.

Tucson, Consolidated NB, 4287
I can find no records of any $10 Blue Seals with this sort of quality. This note is graded 'AU 55' and I cannot find a flaw through the holder to understand why it is not UNC. It's gorgeous, it's the best of the denomination and it's among the finest known from the state. Excellent stamped signature and amazing color. The top margin is too tight for a Gem.

Tucson, Consolidated NB, 4287
This has to be one of the finest $5 Tucson notes we are ever likely to see. It's graded 'Very Ch. New 64 PPQ' and I'm sure it's all of that and that brings up the price. There are 140 small notes reported but few UNCs are $5s.

This bank was chartered in 1872 and lasted nearly 19 years, until 1891. The bank was a short issuer and not surprisingly this note is unique.

St. Louis, First NB, 3239
The bank was only in business from 1884 to 1897 and issued only $5 Brown Backs. Just 2,659 sheets were printed. By 1910 there was only $400 left on the books. This note will also surprise many collectors not knowing that this misplaced town (in their minds) exists. After the sale of the DeGood note in 2007 this well used but problem free Brown Back turned up and it's the second note known on this charter. The DeGood note was the first discovered and it was previously described as, "A #1 $5 Brown Back with excellent pen signatures. A couple of tiny splits have been expertly restored." That note brought $39,100 in that 2007 sale. This example was pen signed by John Triger, Vice President and A.B. Darragh, Cashier.

New York, Ninth NB of the City, 387
The Ninth National Bank is one of the tough 'numbered' banks in the city with just 22 examples listed in the census. The overwhelming issue were notes from the First Charter, with a mere handful of Brown Backs printed near the end before the bank was liquidated. However, a fair number of notes from the reported examples are counterfeit Deuces, making genuine specimens of any type all the more valuable. This $10 is one of only two Brown Backs known on the bank and is a new addition to the census. The top and bottom margins are frayed and tape has been used to reinforce the folds and halt the progress of some of the larger tears. A scarce note and unusual type for the bank.

This is another large First Charter only bank that remained solvent for just under 20 years. There are no heavy folds but the right margin has some chips out. Quite scarce with just 10 examples to select from. Half the known notes on this bank are $50 and $100 denominations, which should make this more affordable $10 a sought after lot. It is also new to the census. Some ink is noted on the face at the top right. There have been no auction sales of any note from this bank in over nine years.

This financial powerhouse was chartered in 1865 and issued notes well into the 1902 Plain Back era, closing in 1926. This early note saw little time in cash drawers, but instead was carried as a pocket piece. The heavy folds have severe splitting with numerous tears along the top and bottom margins. Just based on folds it is an XF, but due to the wear and tears we will demote it a few grades.

New York, Bowery NB, 1297
There are not many banks in New York that remain unreported, so when a note surfaces on one of these institutions, it creates quite a stir. The Bowery National Bank was chartered in 1865 and founded by William R. Foster and Richard Hamilton. Hamilton served as cashier and signed the note we offer here. The bank was initially located at 60 Bowery at the south corner of Canal Street. A year later it moved to 62 Bowery where it remained for three and a half decades. The Bowery National Bank closed in January 1889 and joined the state banking system as the Bowery Bank of New York. In 1902, a new building was completed for the bank at 124 Bowery, which stands today. This $10 1875 Series note has clear pen signatures and is free of any significant damage. It is hard to estimate what a rarity such as this will bring in today's market, but similar unique items from New York City have reached well into the five figures. Regardless of cost, one lucky bidder will go home with a note he will be proud to own.

New York, NB of the Commonwealth in the City, 1372
This is one of New York City's most elusive banks from which notes are reported. The current census stands at just three pieces, two $1 notes and this lone Deuce. This note has been off the market so long it is only listed in the Kelly census with a grade but no serial number. Knowing the source of the collection from whence this note came, I'm fairly certain the listed note and this piece are the same. The note is nice, in spite of a number of tiny pinholes and a short margin split at the top center fold. The bank, chartered in 1865, lasted just eight years. Some five years ago the lower grade of the two $1 notes was offered on EBay, and eight years before that the nicer Ace was auctioned. Worth a serious bid.

Brown Backs were the last type printed by this bank before it closed in 1901. Most of the issue occurred during the First Charter period, so by comparison, relatively few Brown Backs were issued.

This impossibly rare bank issued First Charters only and lasted just 19 years before closing in 1884. The total population of notes known amounts to just two pieces, this lovely AU and a VG. The low grade note, also an Original Series $5, was sold once in a 1989 Hickman sale and then again in our February 2003 sale. This note was known to exist, but was ensconced in this major New York City collection for several decades, and unavailable to the then current group of collectors. To be fair, the note does have some faults like pinholes and edge splits repaired with stamp hinges. However, they are not severe and a little professional restoration would do wonders for the note. Worthy of a strong bid.

This is an extremely rare type to find with any condition, as there are barely 200 examples known in all grades, country wide. There is a small group of these Chase notes in high grade and most collectors look to this issue for their type note. Unfortunately, there are far too few examples known to supply everyone who desires a high grade specimen of this type. This one has nice embossing and bright paper, but is poorly cut. At least this note faired better than its sheet mate above it. There is a light stain in the top right corner and some teller handling. An undervalued type and denomination.

Second is the charter #4567 which is a ladder and it's just cool. Third, the stamped signatures are there, albeit light. In 2006 we sold a mate to the VF in the Power collection for $2,760. Today we will see as that was the last one offered.

A magnificent #1 $5 Brown Back from a bank that was chartered in 1898 and closed nine years later in 1907 (maybe the Panic of 1907 had influence on this). Personally I'm fascinated by the Astor bank title but I can't figure out how to get more information. There are 18 Brown Backs known, of which 11 are $5s, but this is the only #1 known of any denomination. Lovely swirling pen signatures enhance the appearance.
