Lot #20331 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 48 $2 1878
Only two Fr. numbers comprise the design. There are only 224 recorded examples of this Friedberg number in all grades. The specialists appreciate the 1878 Series for their beauty and rarity. Removed from a PCGS Ch. New 63 holder with the comment "minor adhesive residue at right of center on front". The minor residue has been professionally removed yet there is a tiny brown spot in the design, but completed too late to submit for re-grading. This should "straight grade" without comments. Still a glorious example of a scarce type. Outstanding. Doris A. Bart Collection.
Grade: Ch. New

Lot #20347 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 103 $10 1880

We sold a PCGS 58 in 2015 at $23,000. I can see a couple of corner tip folds that are not into the design'. It seems like I should have had it graded but our client said 'sell it'.

Los Angeles, Pacific NB, 12454
During the early part of the 1970s there were few collectors for high denomination National Bank Notes but Doug Corrigan was already on the hunt for notes to add to his collection. One day he was visiting Superior Stamp & Coin in downtown Los Angeles when a rather proper older woman walked into the store with a group of mostly $50s and $100s from the Pacific National Bank of Los Angeles #12454. When she spoke to the counter person he heard her say "I went to AMark and they made an acceptable offer for these notes but they wanted to write me a check and I felt it was wrong to take a check for cash money". The counter person agreed and brought her the cash. She indicated she was keeping the #1 notes and we must assume they are still in Mrs. Smith's family. After she left the store Doug acquired two of each denomination for about $30 over face, as the story was told to me. His #8 notes are offered here. Note signed by E.M. Smith, President and A.M. DeLong, Cashier. The Pacific National Bank of Los Angeles in California wash chartered in October 1923 and liquidated on March 18, 1930.

Minneapolis, NB of Commerce, 3206
This is only the third note to appear on this bank, which is one of the rarest banks in Minneapolis. The bank only printed Brown Backs and Red Seals, having operated from 1884 through 1908. To date, only a $100 Red Seal, which hasn't been seen since a 1997 auction, along with a Serial #1 $5 Brown Back were the only two notes recorded until the appearance of this example. The Serial #1 note has been auctioned twice in the past eight years, and both times selling for just a bit over $19,000 each time. A remarkable find, albeit heavily circulated, that still has legible signatures, this $5 should give some hope to those wanting to acquire the title, but not able to compete for the Serial #1 note, or the $100 Red Seal were it to appear at auction.

Third Charters only in large size for this better Delaware County bank whose census count stands at thirteen pieces.

Lake George, First NB, 8793
A picturesque resort town in New York's Adirondack region of mountains and forest. An exceptional note that any New York collector would be lucky to claim for his own. A bright and well margined piece with good color and fresh paper. A paltry $440 outstanding in 1935 with this pen signed note one of only four known. The only other auction results from the past few decades were an ugly PMG Fine 15 that sold for over $4,000, as well as a raw Fine that topped the $9,000 barrier. A special note that will certainly augment the next collection which it enters.

First Charters only for this scarcer New York City bank that was paid a rather unkind visit by the receiver in 1884. PMG notes a tape repair and some staining but it is primarily confined to the back and has little effect on the visual impact of this note. Auction appearances are sparse and this happens to be the only Original Series $5 note listed. That should make for some interesting bidding activity before the hammer falls.

Mitchell, First NB, 2645
The First National Bank of Mitchell was chartered on February 8, 1882, very near the end of the First Charter period. The Act of July 12, 1882 provided for the Second Charter period to begin. There were only four national banks that issued Territorials, and of those only three chose to issue First Charter state notes. This bank only printed 866 sheets of four $10 First Charter 1875 Series notes. From that issue this is only the third note known to have survived. One example was last offered in 1955 and it's condition, while very nice, is not equal to the amazing note we have here. The other known example is from charter #2461, Deadwood, and only 750 sheets were printed, which included $5s, $10s and $20s. The bank with the largest issue was Deadwood #2391 which printed 2,800 sheets of $5s; none of which are known. This is the third note known from the statehood period and I believe the quality is amazing. Here lies an incredible ultra rarity that is among the finest and most desirable nationals we have ever been privileged to sell. In 1889 the Dakota Territory was divided into North and South Dakota, with each achieving statehood. Only banks already issuing First Charter notes, which also required additional notes to be printed after statehood, would receive statehood First Charters for circulation. For North Dakota that amounted to nine issuing banks, but only four for South Dakota, yet one did not issue any. One dozen survivors have been reported on North Dakota, but until now, only two have been found for South Dakota. The present note has the look of a headlight Gem, and was considered that by our consignor. A touch of handling requires the AU grade, but the best AU imaginable. Full margins, amazing pen signatures, original embossed bright paper and dark inks are enhanced by a lipstick red overprint. I cannot imagine a nicer note to represent the fourth rarest state First Charter, after Utah (1), Washington (1) and Nevada (2). If you aspire to a great South Dakota collection, or a complete collection of First Charter notes, this note is indispensable. When the proposed book about the top 100 existing nationals is printed, we expect this specimen to be included. The known First Charters from South Dakota are in the strongest of hands, likely to be off the market for generations. If you desire to own a First Charter South Dakota in your lifetime, the odds are likely determined on whether you purchase this note.

Colfax, Territory of Washington, First NB, 3076
This jewel was last offered in the 1986 Hickman-Oakes sale, Lot 265. Prior to that it came from the Amon Carter Collection. This bank is UNIQUE as a Territorial and the other known note is a #1 $10 Red Seal in uncirculated condition. I must say that many collectors would be happy to have either note in their collection but Washington Territorials take a whole other tier of rarity and collector. There were only 830 sheets of Territorials printed from this bank in Whitman County in southeast Washington within the Territory. Notes were issued from the following denominations: 2 Banks $5 1875 Series 83,000 plus sheets 13 Banks $5 1882 Brown Back 93,000 plus sheets 25 Banks $10 1882 Brown Back 52,000 plus sheets 25 Banks $20 1882 Brown Back 17,000 plus sheets 1 Bank $50 1882 Brown Back 197 plus sheets 1 Bank $100 1882 Brown Back 197 plus sheets At this time I can account for notes from: 3 $5 1875 Walla Walla #2380 1 $5 1882BB Tacoma #4069 1 $10 1882BB Tacoma #4018 1 $5 1882BB Tacoma #3417 1 $10 1882BB Tacoma #3172 1 $5 1882BB Seattle #2966 2 $5 1882BB Ellensburg #3867 1 $10 1882BB Colfax #3076 1 $5 1882BB Spokane Falls #3409 These notes represent all of the Washington Territorials that I am aware of.
