Fr. 1801-1 $10 1929T1
Grade: VF

This remote San Juan County community supported two national banks, but hard times hit around 1915, forcing the closure of the Silverton National Bank. By 1920 the population of the town had dropped by half and there was little demand for notes. To this day, not one large size note on this bank has been reported, leaving the seven known small size to supply collectors' needs. This example is not quite as nice as the Mayer specimen, which was the finest known, but it is close.
