Valley City, American NB, W5364
Fr. 504 $20 1882BB
Grade: VF    

---

This bank was the third bank chartered in Valley City. It was chartered on May 21, 1900, shortly after the Spanish-American War, which may have encouraged the 'American National Bank' title. There were 5,518 sheets of Second Charter Brown Backs, Date Backs and Value Backs issued before liquidation on February 14, 1919. This is the earliest note reported. This piece has even circulation but there is a light stain across the left side. The signatures of A.H. Grady, President and James Grady, Cashier are there but not very clear. PMG notes: stains.
