Fr. 471 $5 1882BB
Selma, City NB, S1736
This is a previously unreported serial number and only the third and by far the finest $5 BB on this bank known for it's pack of $5 first charters that were saved. This note has three solid folds but great color and paper quality with the sheet selvage along the bottom. Signatures of Houston Isbell Shelley and Albert Garrett Parrish.
Grade: XF    Bank Name: Selma, City NB, S1736

Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2

Fr. 598 $5 1902ND
Fairbanks, First NB, 7718
It appears that the 66 notes that represent this charter are well divided between red and blue seals (37/29) that are mostly $5's with three or four oddball rarities. This note is an excellent circulated example with great centering, body and signatures of Edward Henry Stroecker and George W. Hutchinson.
Grade: VF+    Bank Name: Fairbanks, First NB, 7718
Lot #302 - National Bank Notes > Alaska - ($ 30,000.00 - $ 60,000.00)
Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
Juneau, First NB, 5117
The opportunity to offer a CU Alaska is a rarity as Track & Price only shows three other than this beauty from the $10 T2 State collection Dean built in the 60's. I sold #A001688 for $66k in 2000 and the last offered was a PMG VF 25 that realized $18k in 2025. I later resold #A001688 in 2004 for $41,400. Beautiful Alaska's rarely appear and it is crazy but an uncut pair of Fairbanks just sold for $55,200. Signatures of Elwood McClain and John Reck.
Grade: Gem CU    Bank Name: Juneau, First NB, 5117
Lot #303 - National Bank Notes > Arizona - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 632 $10 1902ND
Mesa, First NB, 11130
This is the finest known note from this late chartered Phoenix area community dated January 7, 1918. Someone saved both the $10 and $20 #1 notes but they both have more circulation than this beauty which is nice and fresh with a bend or two. Just a bit of a poor cut affects the bottom margin and the top design. Signatures of Lambert Henry Van Spanckeren and John James Fraser.
Grade: XF/AU    Bank Name: Mesa, First NB, 11130
Lot #304 - National Bank Notes > Arizona - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 628 $10 1902ND

Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
Phoenix, First NB, 3728
A sharp evenly circulated T2 $10 to represent AZ. A scarce state to find $10 T2's or so it seems. Signatures of Carlton Theodore Washburn and Chauncey Harvey McKellips.
Grade: Fine    Bank Name: Phoenix, First NB, 3728
Lot #306 - National Bank Notes > Arizona Territory - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 533 $5 1882DB
Prescott, NB, P4851
Records indicate twelve surviving notes from this Yavapai County location. There are five BB Territorials and four DB Territorials and six of those nine are $5's. As best I can tell this came from the Monte Sherwin State Collection and very few times have these appeared. A similar quality example appeared in 2018 at HA bringing $19,200 and it has flaws as well. Better signatures would make it better but they are not quite there. PMG notes repaired, corner reattached.
Grade: PMG VF 20 NET    Bank Name: Prescott, NB, P4851
Lot #307 - National Bank Notes > Arkansas - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)

Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
Paragould, New First NB, 13155
A nice high grade and well-centered note from Greene County with 21 small notes reported and this is the only $10 T2. It has been about a decade since any offerings from this charter, let alone one unique for the type. Big margins but a couple of minor spots. Signatures of R. C. Mitchell and H. S. Trice.
Grade: UNC    Bank Name: Paragould, New First NB, 13155
Lot #309 - National Bank Notes > Arkansas - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 611 $5 1902ND
Siloam Springs, First NB, 13274
This is one of the highest charter numbers used on a large NBN. It has the Woods - Tate Treasury officers and purple stamped signatures of Connelly Harrington and George Tatum. Only 18 notes reported and we sold this in 2003 for $2,090. Some paper ripples on this example.
Grade: CU    Bank Name: Siloam Springs, First NB, 13274
Lot #310 - National Bank Notes > Arkansas - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 608 $5 1902ND
Walnut Ridge, Planters NB, 12083
A nice grade note from this Lawrence County location with 12 large notes reported. This example was cut a bit goofy at the top but has wonderful pen signatures of J. A. Hill and W. R. Lane. A high charter to have Treasury and serial number.
Grade: VF    Bank Name: Walnut Ridge, Planters NB, 12083
Lot #311 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 601 $5 1902ND
Crows Landing, First NB, 9765
One of the most sought after of all large size NBN's and it is only one of three large and nine smalls reported. The only offering was a VF 35 that realized $32,900 in 9/16. Certainly the quality is outstanding and the title and rarity make this well-signed note a jewel.
Grade: PMG XF 40    Bank Name: Crows Landing, First NB, 9765
Lot #312 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
Fullerton, First National Trust and Savings Bank, 12764
Such a lovely note that is so attractive from Orange County. There are 36 small notes reported including five T2 $10's. Signatures of Harry V. Williams and E. E. Beazley.
Grade: XF/AU    Bank Name: Fullerton, First National Trust and Savings Bank, 12764
Lot #313 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 501 $20 1882BB
Oakland, First NB, 2248

Fr. 1136 $5 1870 GBN
San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
I love this $5 original series gold bank note and it is one of 481 reported across all notes $5-$100. Recently a 30 EPQ realized $45,600 at Stack's. The paper quality and color are all you could desire in a GBN, but a single rust spot may save a bit. PMG notes minor rust.
Grade: PMG VF 30    Bank Name: San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
Lot #316 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 30,000.00 - $ 60,000.00)
Fr. 1142 $10 1870 GBN
San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
I believe the Track & Price census shows 41 serial numbers reported and the grade shown on this note is VF 30 but there is no reason not to call it a 35. I do not make holders but I do know what beauty is in Gold Bank Notes because I like to say I have handled "them all", or maybe just the best ones. I urge you to carefully consider this jewel because it deserves it. Great color, wonderful centering and gorgeous coins on the back. This note came from William Anton.
Grade: VF    Bank Name: San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
Lot #317 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 1142 $10 1870 GBN
San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
A rare and seldom seen First National Gold Bank of San Francisco graded VF 25 by PCGS and it has great pen signatures of Edwin D. Morgan and Ralph C. Woolworth. Decent color with great centering and comment-free. 41 $10's are recorded and I urge you to compare this with the Anton piece as this is much finer.
Grade: PCGS VF 25    Bank Name: San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
Lot #318 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 50,000.00 - $ 100,000.00)
Fr. 1152 $20 1870 GBN
San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
This was acquired from William Anton with the $5 and $10 listed here as well. If I chose a number grade, 30 seems to fit adequately. I see a pinhole and a tiny closed split on the edge. When researching the First National Gold bank of San Francisco, the Track & Price census indicates 481 serial numbers reported. Those are mostly $5 notes yet there are nearly fifty $20 and only a couple seem to be possibly near or equal to this example. Gold banknotes have been tracked for more than half a century that I know of and when they looked at a GBN's they would be fickle with their grade assignments. They liked AG, Good, VG and rarely better. This $20 and the $10 have somewhat different paper from the $5, almost like a different finish by ABNC. I was with Dean when these were acquired from William Anton around 1978 when jewels were distributed. This was always a favorite of his.
Grade: VF/XF    Bank Name: San Francisco, First National Gold Bank, 1741
Lot #319 - National Bank Notes > California - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)

Fr. 626 $10 1902ND
Canon City, First NB, W3879
The layout with Canon City, CO in the tombstone is unusual and desirable on this Fremont County location with only 11 serial numbers recorded on this large only bank. Excellent pen signatures (W. H. Dozier - President) make this one of the best around.
Grade: VF    Bank Name: Canon City, First NB, W3879

Lot #331 - National Bank Notes > Connecticut - ($ 25,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 454 $100 Original
Hartford, Aetna NB, 756
Here we have the earliest known note from the extremely rare AETNA NB. This low early charter came from the Oat Bin Hoard when I was still a teen. T&P says there are 21 notes reported. This note is well circulated with many pinholes and other minor issues of it's 19th century existence and being part of a hoard. Today it's condition remains unaltered and the strength of the pen signatures of Appleton Robbins Hillyer and William Russell Cone is certainly appealing. There are only 44 $100 Original series notes known and even less with charters on the note.
Grade: Fine    Bank Name: Hartford, Aetna NB, 756
Lot #332 - National Bank Notes > Connecticut - ($ 125.00 - $ 250.00)
Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
New Haven, First NB & TC, 2
Not rare with 255 notes reported, but lower charter and Type 2's look cool when it is the low charter number and not the type. Signatures of Warren Mansfield Crawford and Thomas McBlain Steele.

Fr. 679a $50 1902ND
Washington, Federal-American NB, E10316
This is a late issue with the Napier-Thompson signature combo and there is no line under the engraved officer signatures of Charles Darwin Boyer Sr. and John Poole. This is the second title with 20 reported and this is not among those listed. Some edge wear.
Grade: VF    Bank Name: Washington, Federal-American NB, E10316

Live Oak, First NB, 6055
A cool Florida location that has always been sought after. There is an uncut sheet 1-6, #2 and a 10 sheet I may have cut from George Nicholson. The only sale I found of the $10 is when #2 sold in 2008 for $7,475 in a 64 grade. Quality is 100% for this Suwannee County beauty. Signatures are G. W. Harmony and E. S. Conner.

Fr. 1800-2 $5 1929T2
Miami Beach, Mercantile NB, 13828
This note has a crazy president signature of P. Liberman. Few of these have survived as the bank was organized Oct 10, 1933. A very scarce bank with only 13 reported and this is the lowest serial number.

Lot #343 - National Bank Notes > Florida - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 598 $5 1902ND
Quincy, First NB, S7253
It is hard for me to believe that there are 20 notes reported from this Gadsden County location. This note is well used but has well stamped signatures of J. C. Scarborough and S. E. Key. PMG notes rust and it has a crazy uneven top cut.
Grade: PMG VG 10 NET    Bank Name: Quincy, First NB, S7253

Fr. 627 $10 1902ND
Adel, First NB, S9777
A wonderful Georgia rarity with purple stamped signatures of J. E. Pitts and J. T. Wilkes and a likely fit with this group as #9777 and being a sister to Adel, Iowa. This was the discovery note in 1995 and it remains that today.
Grade: VF+    Bank Name: Adel, First NB, S9777
Lot #346 - National Bank Notes > Georgia - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 613 $10 1902RS
Albany, Citizens NB, S7777
An amazing rarity to have ever survived and now available for the first time in 35 years. This note charter #7777 is in evenly circulated condition and it retains clear pen signatures of Edwin Sterne and John K. Pray. My old Kelly book I just looked at says it closed before it opened in (6/9/1905 - 5/1/1905). Oops, minor mistake, There were seven NB's in Albany in an obviously booming economy after the turn of the century. Only 1880 sheets were printed and they were all red seals. Minor pinholes. From CAA 9/1990.

Honolulu, First NB of Hawaii, P5550
It is difficult to imagine there are 301 large notes reported with the first title from Honolulu, but only seven are $10 BB's and only one appears higher grade. I might question this not being a "30" but I'm not sure it matters for value and it's appearance shows the quality. I found one $10 offered in 2018 but it is a tough type. Cool radar serial number #4994 and signatures of W. G. Cooper and Cecil "Kikila" Brown.

This $10 came from my 11/04 sale for $2,530 and it has great color and centering with nicely stamped signatures of family members E.E. More, President and Smith Griffen More, Cashier. I assume Dean added Glen's $10 to his because his earlier note (this one) has the double Treasury numbers. While it appears XF, I think VF/XF is more accurate for being technical.

Buffalo, First NB, W6559
This note last appeared in LFK's North Dakota Collection in 2013 where we stated: "This gorgeous $10 has the appearance of an AU, not a VF and that's because of the color and paper quality. This was one of Amon Carter's favorite North Dakota notes and it was acquired when I sold his National Bank Notes from his estate. Stamped signatures of E.E. More, President and Smith Griffen More, Cashier. Buffalo is located in Cass County in the Fargo metro area. The population was 188 at the 2010 census. Buffalo was founded in 1872 as a Northern Pacific Railroad station named Third Siding and became New Buffalo about 1875. Postmaster Charles A. Wilder shortened the name to Buffalo in 1883. The village incorporated April 8, 1883 and the population peaked at 410 in 1890. The rural fire department of Buffalo was organized in 1958. At that time a 1956 fire truck was purchased. It was the first rural fire protected district in North Dakota." Eight large notes reported on T&P.

They just don't get better than this if you are building a collection to include all of the different entities used for our territories, islands and districts as they are some of the finest notes. Records indicate a VF 25 repairs sold at HA for $150k in 2024 and the only blue seal a year earlier for $144k also at HA. I have not handled a P.R. since 1997 in the Irish Collection. I expect the note will create plenty of interest as Dean acquired it around 1972 from William Anton Jr. As I recall he or his father collected Puerto Rico and this was the one duplicate from his type set $10-$20-$50-$100 sold to a prominent collector decades later. A lovely but lower end VF with the always important officer pen signatures of Wm. B. Hamilton and Andres Crosas. It appears this may have been cut a bit off, but it is a winner.

This charter was extremely prolific with 172 large note notes reported with eight $50 red seals and two $100 red seals. It appears there are three UNC's reported and the others are likely close to this. Stack's sold a 66 for $90k in 2020, likely the finest for the type and none have sold publicly since. My guess is that the signatures of Andrew Richard Matteson & Robert Ives Gammell are probably printed. Acquired from LFK along the way. PMG notes minor repairs.
