From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman
Massachusetts October 16, 1778 8d Very Fine. There are a few moderately dark stains on this otherwise very nice, evenly circulated Codfish note.
New Jersey April 23, 1761 30s Fine-Very Fine. Some pins have been removed and the centerfold splits have been reinforced but this well signed and boldly printed early New Jersey note still faces up rather nicely, especially considering that this is a scarce and underappreciated issue.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 1s PMG Very Fine 30. This is a pleasing colorful Colonial from this avidly collected state.
New York March 5, 1776 $1 About New. This is a very attractive example of this New York note. The print quality is excellent and there are two bold signatures and a strong serial number. The margins are ample on all four sides and it should be noted again that attractive high-circulated grade New York notes are few and far between.
From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman
North Carolina March 9, 1754 20s Good. Some areas of the back and corners have been reinforced by a brown colored tape. This piece is decent for the issue.
North Carolina March 9, 1754 40s Very Good. Repaired at three of its four corners and at a fairly large central hole, but still far better in both technical grade and aesthetic appeal than most examples of this issue which are normally found severely tattered.

South Carolina December 23, 1777 (erroneously dated) $4 Choice New. From a 2005 internet sale where we described it as "A very nice example of this once signed remainder note that is crisp with great print quality and the hebrew characters on the back that were used as an anticounterfeiting device. There is a very minor "as made" paper wrinkle that does not affect either the value or desirability or this note." Our consignor paid almost $375 then and how the market has changed in the past couple of years.
From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman
South Carolina December 23, 1777 (erroneously dated) $4 PMG Very Fine 20. This fully signed and numbered example is much scarcer than the typical remainders that are so often seen.

South Carolina December 23, 1776 $8 Very Fine. Although some of the signatures and serial number are somewhat faded this is clearly a fully signed and numbered note which was intended to circulate freely.

South Carolina February 8, 1779 $50 Extremely Fine, damaged. The technical detail of this Coram note is Extremely Fine but there are a couple of healthy tears, especially at top center where a piece is now missing.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $13 1/3 Extremely Fine, damaged. The edges have been repaired on this note which is essentially Uncirculated. The paper is so thin that one can read through this note when it is placed on a printed page. The fact that any of these pieces survived at all is a miracle. This is a denomination which is rarely encountered as this is the only example that we have ever sold here at Heritage.
From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman
Virginia October 16, 1780 $200 Fine. Several good repairs have been done to this example to counter the effects of ink damage.
Virginia May 7, 1781 $2000 Extremely Fine. The technical grade on this note is Extremely Fine but there are two sizeable centerfold tears from where the note was hinged. This is likely due to the fact that someone wanted to present it as it is the largest denomination printed in the entire colonial currency arena.
From The Collection of a Louisiana Gentleman

Errors such as this have been realizing many hundreds of dollars and we would expect the same from this delightful prize.
Bronze Age (1970-1979)

Fractional Currency
Fr. 1312 50c First Issue Choice New. Some light handling is all that keeps this delightful type note from rushing to the head of the class with all the other gems.

Fr. 1236 5c Third Issue Choice New. This is a lovely example of this red back Clark type that has great embossing, bold colors and fresh paper. Only a broader right margin would lead to the gem grade.

This is a pleasing lightly handled pair that is well matched.
Fractional Currency

From The Amelia Island Collection.
Fr. 1292 25c Third Issue New. A very attractive example of this much scarcer "a" on face red back Fessenden. The bronzing is bright and the inks of impeccable integrity. The left margin is too tight to allow for the choice designation and there is an interesting miscut in the top border.
Fr. 1294 25c Third Issue Choice New. Blinding bronzing, cavernous embossing, and resplendent inks are all found on this gem quality Fessenden note. The margin size and back centering do not allow for that lofty grade.

Fr. 1379 50c Fourth Issue Dexter Choice New. Only margin size limits the grade on this delightful Dexter note.
Fr. 1379 50c Fourth Issue Dexter Choice New. An increasingly popular type. The margins are a tad smaller than what we like to see for a higher grade but the paper fibers present a bold blue swath of color.

Home of the famous race track, this moderately circulated Very Fine is one of just a half dozen Type 2 notes reported on the second of this town's two issuers. With the Type 1s outnumbering the Type 2s by a four to one margin, it is definitely a scarce type for the bank.

Mena, AR - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Planters NB Ch. # 13693
This is a very scarce bank which was chartered in the depths of the Depression and issued Type 2 examples only. The only bank in town to issue small size, the note grades Fine but has been washed.
Alameda, CA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The Commercial NB Ch. # 11942
This bank was chartered in 1921. The paper is free of problems, even a single minute pinhole. Very Good.
From The Kansas City Collection
Lemoore, CA - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 7779
With the increasing demand for California notes, it could be problematic to obtain one of the five reported large size on this bank. Here is a very nice alternative. Grading a pretty Very Fine, this note is one of just a handful of Type 2 notes known on this bank.
From The Kansas City Collection
Los Angeles, CA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 651 Merchants National Trust & Savings Bank Ch. # 3538
This piece boasts the third title with Trust and Savings added. The paper shows some weakness in the margins, though the design is solid. Very Good.
From The Kansas City Collection
Los Angeles, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 Citizens National Trust & Savings Bank Ch. # 5927
While this is one of the more common banks on Los Angeles, this pretty Almost Uncirculated note is decidedly in a rather uncommon condition.

Riverside, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Citizens National Trust & Savings Bank Ch. # 8907
Originally chartered in 1907, this bank changed its name in 1928 and thus all of its small size notes were issued under the second title. While this Fine note is listed in the census as VG, it is certainly better than that.
From The Kansas City Collection
Riverside, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Citizens National Trust & Savings Bank Ch. # 8907
All of the small size issued by this popularly collected location bear the second title used by this institution. A better type, this very pretty Very Fine-Extremely Fine faces up even higher but has just a couple of strong folds on the back.

An attractive and problem-free issue. Very Fine.
From The Kansas City Collection
Sacramento, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The California NB Ch. # 8504

An attractive problem free piece save for some pinholes that are only visible when candled. Fine.
Sacramento, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Capital NB Ch. # 10107

From The J.S. Weber Collection.
Augusta, KS - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 6643
While listed in the census as XF, this note has just a little too much handling to justify that grade.

Nevada, MO - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Thornton NB Ch. # 9382

Here is another example of this great "misplaced state" name in a different denomination and slightly higher grade of Fine-Very Fine. A few stray pencil marks on the numerals must be noted.
From The Kansas City Collection
Saint Charles, MO - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 260

Gering, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Gering NB Ch. # 9694

Lakewood, NJ - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The Peoples NB Ch. # 7291

Madison, NJ - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 2551

Albuquerque, NM - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 2614
A bank that started in the territorial days, it lasted until 1934 issuing just Type Ones in small size. One of the largest banks in the state, this Very Fine note would be a good example for type from New Mexico.
Albuquerque, NM - $5 1929 Ty. 1 Albuquerque NB Ch. # 12485

Ilion's main claim to fame has been as the home of the Remington Arms manufacturing plant for many years and this pretty Extremely Fine note may have once been handled by some of the plant's employees.

New York, NY - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 616 The NB of Commerce Ch. # (E)733
From a bank that is well known for the numerous Brown Backs reported, here is a nice example of a Third Charter note. Boldly printed, it grades Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated with just the hint of a fold or two holding it back from a higher level.
New York, NY - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The NB of the Republic of New York Ch. # 1000

New York, NY - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Chase NB Ch. # 2370
Perfectly even margins from this Gem. CGA Gem Uncirculated 65.
New York, NY - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 616 The Battery Park NB Ch. # (E)7447
What this note lacks in eye appeal, it makes up for it in rarity and a classic, historic bank title. A mere seven notes from this large size only issuer are reported in the census with this being the only $10 1902 Date Back. Only four pieces have ever been offered for auction, with the last being in 2002. The area below the portrait is damaged and was crudely repaired.

From The Kansas City Collection
Schenectady, NY - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The Mohawk NB Ch. # 1226
The first of two note issuing banks in this community that once had tens of thousands of employees in its General Electric manufacturing plants, the bank remained an independent entity into the 1980's. This note, which is a pleasing Very Fine, is just the second Type 2 $20 to surface.
Schenectady, NY - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Union NB Ch. # 4711
This note is on the second and scarcer of the two issuing charters in this community that hosted one of the first radio stations in the country, WGY, back in the early 1920's. A decent looking Very Fine, it is just the fourth Type 2 $10 to be reported on this bank.

Bismarck, ND - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 2434

Bismarck, ND - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Dakota NB & TC Ch. # 13398

Cadiz, OH - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 100
Issuing under three different titles during the small size period, this Very Good-Fine note is from the bank's scarcer first title used only from 1929 to 1931. For anyone collecting notes from the first 100 charters, an example from this bank is a requirement.
Chillicothe, OH - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 128
C.F. Hagemann's signature as cashier is paired with at least three presidents of this bank over the years. This note is not from the final shipment of Nationals that was sent to this bank on July 10, 1935. Fine.

From The Kansas City Collection
Cleveland, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 Central United NB Ch. # 4318
This note carries the fourth title used by this national bank and the only title to appear on its small size notes. It is third party graded as PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ and we certainly have no argument with the assigned grade for this pretty note.
Cleveland, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 Central United NB Ch. # 4318
During the note issuing period, this was one of the few banks in the country to go through four titles which certainly generated a lot of correspondence with the Comptroller's office. Only one title was used for its small size notes and this barely circulated note with an assigned grade of PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ is a nice representative example.
Dayton, OH - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 608 The Winters NB & TC Ch. # 2604

The first of three note issuing charters in this Columbiana County locale, the First National was to make it through the small size era and issue almost $5 million in notes. The present offering is a circulated but intact Fine on this long lived charter.
Fremont, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 5
Always in demand for the low charter number, this Fine note is from a bank that did not quite make it out of the note issuing period when it failed in 1934.
Harrison, OH - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 8228
This is a very scarce bank with just three large size and, now, nine small size in the Kelly census. The note is a no problem Fine-Very Fine on the only bank in this Hamilton County location.
From The Kansas City Collection
Hicksville, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Hicksville NB Ch. # 5802

La Rue, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Campbell NB Ch. # 6675
A private name bank with, appropriately, the signature of J. W. Campbell as cashier, this was the only note issuing institution in this Marion County location. This Fine $20 makes eighteen small size notes reported.

We have not had a $50 on this bank since 1999. Fine.
Mansfield, OH - $50 1929 Ty. 1 The Citizens NB & TC Ch. # 2577
This is an evenly circulated note with sound edges. This Richland County bank only issued high denominations during the Series 1929 era. Fine.
Marion, OH - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The Marion NB Ch. # 6308
This bank is one of the rare exceptions where small size notes are much scarcer than their large size counterparts. In fact, over twice as many large size are reported than the sixteen small size in the census. This note actually grades better than Fine from the standpoint of wear but is held back by too much soiling.
Marion, OH - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 659 The National City Bank & TC Ch. # 11831
This is the first Series 1902 $20 that we have handled on this bank. Very Fine.

From The Kansas City Collection
Quaker City, OH - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 628 The Quaker City NB Ch. # 1989
A popular Guernsey County locale. The president's signature is still bold and the paper is uninterrupted. Very Fine.
From The Kansas City Collection
Rocky River, OH - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 12347
While this bank opened in 1923, it elected to only issue small size notes. Although not rare, its notes carry one of the most popular Ohio town names. This note is a nice Very Fine-Extremely Fine with the margins a bit off center.
From The Kansas City Collection
Wauseon, OH - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7091
This is a new note for the census of this scarce Fulton County bank. We have not had a Series 1929 note on this bank since January 1999. That note brought over $900. Fine.
Waverly, OH - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The First NB Ch. # (M)5635
Great pen signatures are found on this $10. Fine.
Youngstown, OH - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 3
Obviously one of the earliest note issuing banks in the entire country, the single digit charter number is certainly an attention getter. The note is a nice Extremely Fine with some of the original embossing still present.
Zanesville, OH - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 659 The Old Citizens NB Ch. # 5760
Bearing the first of two titles used by this Muskingum County bank, this note is a moderately circulated Fine-Very Fine. One of seven note issuing charters in this community, the town name is popular with alphabet collectors who require a "Z" note for their holdings.
Chandler, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Union NB Ch. # 6269
This is one of about two dozen small size reported on this Lincoln County town and is a bit scarcer than the other bank here that also issued the 1929 Series. The note is a Very Good with a small margin tear on the right.

From The Kansas City Collection
Cleveland, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Cleveland NB Ch. # 7386
Another example from this bank with a "misplaced town" name, this note is of a better type. It is only the third Type 2 $10 to surface on this bank and grades a nice, original Very Fine.
From The Kansas City Collection
Cleveland, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Cleveland NB Ch. # 7386
The underlying note is Very Fine, but the face exhibits signs of being a wallet piece and their is an approximate quarter inch left edge tear.
From The Kansas City Collection
Cleveland, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The Cleveland NB Ch. # 7386
If you have a misplaced town collection you certainly need a Cleveland, Oklahoma note. Serial number 92 also matches the serial number of the Pauls Valley Type 1 $20 in this auction, except this lot is a Type 2. Fine.
From The Kansas City Collection
Hominy, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7927

From The Kansas City Collection
Maysville, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 8999
This note is from the only bank in town to have printed the 1929 Series and the only institution of the two based here to have any surviving notes known. A bakers dozen of small size are in the census including this Very Good $20 which has a bit of separation in the center fold.
Miami, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 5252
Another "misplaced town" name, this was only bank in this community to issue notes from the 1929 Series. The note grades Fine in terms of circulation but is heavily stained.
From The Kansas City Collection

This is a serial number 2 note. There is a loss of paper at bottom center on this Very Good wallet piece survivor.
Oklahoma City, OK - $100 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB & TC Ch. # 4862
This institution issued under three titles, this being the third and the only one to grace the 1929 Series. This nicely centered Very Fine-Extremely Fine is held back in grade but just too much of a center fold.
Oklahoma City, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Liberty NB Ch. # 11230
A sub-collection can be made of Nationals with "Liberty" in their bank titles. Fine-Very Fine.
Pauls Valley, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 5091

From The Kansas City Collection

Corvallis, OR - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4301
From the only collectible bank in this community, this Very Good-Fine $10 is one of about two dozen small size reported. Obviously a closely held operation at the time, it is signed by two members of the Woodcock family.
From The Kansas City Collection
Klamath Falls, OR - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7167
Relatively scarce in large size, there are a few more notes available to collectors in small size. Here is a nice Extremely Fine for anyone who needs a note on this Klamath County community. While the margins are a bit off center, the note still retains much of its original embossing.
Klamath Falls, OR - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7167
This lot provides an opportunity to pick up a second denomination in small size on this most popular town. It is a nicely margined Very Fine.

Atglen, PA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The Atglen NB Ch. # 7056
One of just seven large size notes reported in the Kelly census on this great Chester County community which had only this one note issuing institution. A well circulated Very Good with a few pinholes commensurate with the grade, the signatures have faded but are still legible. A slightly better example sold in our last Long Beach sale for $920 so here is an opportunity for the underbidders.
Atglen, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Atglen NB Ch. # 7056
This is a new addition to the nineteen reported small size notes on this tougher Chester County location. Grading a nice Fine-Very Fine, it has a bit too much circulation for a higher grade.
Atglen, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Atglen NB Ch. # 7056
A few breaks are noted in the paper. Good.
Atglen, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Atglen NB Ch. # 7056
A new addition to the five Type 1 $20s reported on this bank, the note grades Fine with no impairments other than honest circulation. An added appeal of the note is that it bears the facsimile signature of Louise B. Hastings as the cashier.
Avondale, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The NB of Avondale Ch. # 4560
While twenty-four small size are reported on this bank, the vast majority are of the more common Type 1 variety. This note is a happy exception and is the new highest reported serial number on a Type 2 on this charter. Grading an evenly circulated Very Fine with just a couple of very small stains, it would be a nice addition to a collection of Chester County small size notes.
Bangor, PA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Merchants NB Ch. # 4513
This Very Good example has some chips and a small piece missing from the lower right corner, thus the grade.
From The Kansas City Collection
Bangor, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 2 First NB Ch. # 14170
An especially well margined Type 2 from a town that was dominated by the slate industry for many years. This 14000 charter series institution issued Type 2s only, and leaves a scant population of only seven survivors. It is a nice Very Fine with just a hint of some wallet stain.
Beaver Falls, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Farmers NB Ch. # 4894
For the sheer number of national issues, surprisingly few turn up with Courtesy Autographs. This piece boasts the penned signature of the Cashier, Walter G. Bert. An interesting piece. Fine.
Beaver Falls, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 2 First NB Ch. # 14117
This is a decent, well margined example from this popular 14000 charter that grades a nice Fine-Very Fine and is one of about twenty notes known on this high charter.
Beaverdale, PA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # (E)11317

From The Kansas City Collection

Claysville, PA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 601 The NB of Claysville Ch. # (E)4255
Having seen more than its share of circulation, this About Good note is one of just eleven notes reported on this bank in the Kelly census. An opportunity for the budget minded collector to pick up a note on this better Washington County bank.

Solid paper and margins are noted on this PA issue. Very Fine.

From The Kansas City Collection
Connellsville, PA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Second NB Ch. # (E)4481
This bank was chartered in 1890. A few pieces are missing on this example which is enumerated by eleven large size examples in the Track & Price census. Good-Very Good.
From The Kansas City Collection
Conshohocken, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 2078
This lovely new to the census example has natural paper wave and embossing. The bottom frame line shows two staple holes. The census does not list a Series 1929 note on this bank with a higher grade. Crisp Uncirculated.
Crafton, PA - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 6010
This Fine note exhibits some staining.
Dale, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Dale NB Ch. # 12967

Honeybrook, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 1676
This note has been around the block, so to speak, and grades only Very Good with several impairments especially along the top margin. Still, it is one of only a few Type 2 notes known on this bank which was the sole issuer in this Chester County town with a classic Pennsylvania name.
Indiana, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 313
This is one of the few banks with two states in its bank title, Indiana and Pennsylvania in this case. Fine+.

From The Kansas City Collection
Jenkintown, PA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 605 The Jenkintown NB Ch. # (E)2249

From The Kansas City Collection
Jermyn, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 6158
This is a mid-grade example of this moderately scarce bank located in Lackawanna County. With only one large size note listed in the census, this Fine-Very Fine small size may be the only realistic option to acquire a note on Jermyn.
Jermyn, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 6158
Another opportunity to pick up a scarce small size on this bank and a different type. It is a Fine Type Two with a little bit of dirt holding it back from a higher grade.

Kennett Square, PA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The NB of Kennett Square Ch. # 2526
A note that is unlisted in the Kelly census of sixteen large size reported on this popular Chester County location, it grades Fine with just honest circulation and still retains a nice pair of officers signatures.

From The Kansas City Collection
Luzerne, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Luzerne NB Ch. # 8921
With only five large size reported on the sole issuing bank in this community, a small size may be a collector's only viable alternative. This note is a Fine-Very Fine but does have three small cuts that appear to be some kind of punch cancel.
Madera, PA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Madera NB Ch. # 7400
This is an otherwise Extremely Fine note that first appeared in our June 1994 sale. Unfortunately, the banker in charge of cutting the sheets must have been having a bad day as this note is cut well into the design.

Malvern, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The NB of Malvern Ch. # 3147

Millerstown, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7156
From our Central States Sale in April of 2006 where the note was described as: "This Perry County bank is just plain scarce.

Nanticoke, PA - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The Nanticoke NB Ch. # 7406
After issuing three denominations in Type One for its small size notes, this bank opted to release only Fives for its Type Twos. From the point of wear, this About Uncirculated note would be the best of the reported notes but it has been peppered with numerous pinholes.
From The Kansas City Collection
New Freedom, PA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The First NB Ch. # 6715
Purple stamped signatures of W.H. Freed and J.F. Zeller highlight this note that has a wallet stain on one-half of the back. Fine.

Oxford, PA - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Oxford Ch. # 728
One of twenty-six small size reported on the first of two national banks in this Chester County locale, the note is a Fine-Very Fine and faces up very nicely. The grade is held back as the note appears to have been wet at one time. Still, a nice looking note for this popular location.
Philadelphia, PA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 1
This original paper surface Type 2 $10 from charter number 1 has an abundant amount of "1's" on its face. Every National Bank Note collection needs a note from charter number 1. Very Fine.

Bothwell and his signature appears as cashier on earlier Type One notes of this Chester County bank. Fine-Very Fine.
Pittsburgh, PA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The Farmers Deposit NB Ch. # 685
This is a nicer note than any graded $20 1902 PB currently in the census. This $20 is Very Fine-Extremely Fine and it has original paper surfaces plus embossing.
