Johnstown, United States NB 13781
Fr. 1801-2 $10 1929T2
Grade: F/VF

Here is an example of the classic "forbidden title" - the Act of May 24, 1926, forbade the use of the words "United States" in a bank's title. However, this bank was chartered as the United States National Bank in 1933, one of just two banks in the nation chartered after 1926 and so named. This note is not to be confused with the extremely common notes of charter #5903, also from this town and bearing a similar title; this the true "forbidden title" example. Extremely desirable and highly sought after. It is worth noting that this note is also a partial replacement note, with the left serial number normal and the right serial number hand punched in.
