Macon, GA - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 592 The Citizens NB Ch. # (S)8990

Florence, AL - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # (S)3981
A tough location from which to obtain any large size note. This piece is hardly condition census, but will do the trick until a better example comes along. Well circulated but intact Very Good.

Hampton, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Merchants NB Ch. # 6778

Auction 338 | Lot 19681 » National Bank Notes » Alabama

Tuscumbia, AL - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # 11281
A very rare bank in large size, with just four such notes reported. This is a problem free Fine+ example, although the signatures are faded. Only $900 was outstanding from here in large notes when this bank failed, so the outlook for any major change in the census is hardly promising.

Auction 338 | Lot 21020 » National Bank Notes » South Carolina

Union, SC - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The Citizens NB Ch. # 9742
This avidly collected location had two banks, both of which issued large notes only and both of which can be considered as just plain rare. All of the notes from here have been closely held for years in two major collections, with the community's other bank showing just three offerings, not one of which has come since 1971, and this bank showing no prior offerings of any kind at public sale until tonight. While well circulated and displaying a few splits and a petty hole, this note is rare enough so that the grade is secondary to its rarity and desirability. Very Good, a great opportunity for one fortunate collector to add something never previously available at public sale to the collecting fraternity.

Thompson, CT - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Thompson NB Ch. # 1477
An extraordinary new discovery which is unique for both this bank and town. This is one of only nine banks listed as unreported from the entire state, and, even more telling, Thompson is one of only three Connecticut towns remaining on the unknown list. This example turned up as part of the long hidden group of Connecticut material offered here to collectors for the first time, and, considering the short life of this bank and its limited note issue, may well remain forever unique. Evenly circulated Fine, with the typical New England trim but no other problems whatever, a true Connecticut trophy note worth whatever it takes to bring it home tonight, as only one fortunate collector will be able to boast of owning any note from this location tomorrow morning.

Tolland, CT - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Tolland County NB Ch. # 1385
A beautiful example which is easily the finest note we've ever seen from this First Charter only bank. While closely trimmed in the usual New England style, it is as vividly colored as the day it left the press, with bold signatures further enhancing its appearance. Were it not for a couple of light folds, this piece would easily rate as one of the top ten Aces known from this state. Expect some spirited competition before the hammer falls on this Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated beauty tonight.

Auction 338 | Lot 19873 » National Bank Notes » Georgia

Americus, GA - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 2009
If this bank were not so prohibitively rare, having issued First Charter examples only, and if this were not one of only four First Charter Aces known from the entire state, we would never even consider running this piece as a single lot. As we discovered however last year with a similarly wretched ace from a rare Flint, Michigan bank, collectors are often quite willing to overlook some damage and a note's general decrepitude to obtain a truly rare item, even one in very low grade. We offer this Georgia ace, grading Fair, with pieces missing and tape on the reverse holding what is left together, without estimate, as we did the Michigan ace. Please take note that this lot is also offered as is, and no returns will be accepted on this lot for any reason whatever.

Auction 338 | Lot 20605 » National Bank Notes » New Mexico

Lake Arthur, New Mexico Territory - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 615 The First NB Ch. # (W)8584
A newly discovered Territorial Red Seal which brings the population of known examples from this one bank community to three, two Red Seals and one Blue Seal Date Back, all of which are Territorial issues. This note owes its survival to the family of this bank's cashier, W.J.M. Jones, who saved this note along with another from a bank where Mr. Jones served as Vice President, which can be found in this sale's Texas offering. This piece is an evenly circulated and problem free Fine example, with excellent color for the grade. With the Irish specimen in a prominent New Mexico assemblage and the Latimer example now ensconced in a major long term holding, tonight's offering of this specimen may offer the last opportunity for many years for collectors to obtain any Lake Arthur note.
