r/Nationalbanknotes

Here is a neat addition that I recently acquired that represents the first small size fancy serial GA NBN in my collection. I have come across three or so large size GA radars over the years (one of which I own), but this is the first small that I have seen or heard of. Naturally, I purchased it for myself, and was excited to have cherry picked it for a no-brainer price. The host note itself is not too exciting, as it comes from Georgia's most prominent NBN issuer, with close to 500 small size reported in the NBNC. 

The signatures are those of Cashier Frank M. Berry (1871-1957) and President John King Ottley (1868-1945), who served together from 1929 to at least 1935. 

Anything good? Found these and a bunch of old paper currency. These seemed to be the only interesting ones. Does the low serial on the Tyndall bank note help?

BINGO!

I had a deja vu moment when typing in the serial and the charter into the search when I picked up this "Bingo" note (serial matches charter) a few months ago while doing census work on eBay.

While somewhat common on low charter numbers, these types of notes appear by luck on other charters. This being a high denom example adds a certain cool factor as well.

The Farmers Deposit National Bank of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was a goliath of a bank. Currently 858+ small notes are recorded in the NBNC.

Cashier, Joseph Harry Jones (1875-1961) President, Arthur E. Braun (1876-1976)

I don’t own many nationals but these held sentimental value to me so had to add them to the collection.

I have no need of two 1741's and want to look into selling one of them. The first two images are the first note, then the second two images are the second note.

Both identically graded by PMG, Fine 15. The first is a straight grade and the second has comment of "Stain."

I like the second one more, due to the preserved signatures and overall better paper quality compared to the first. I don't find the stain too distracting. There is also a contemporary annotation on the face of 4/9/(19)07?! which I find charming.

Thoughts?

Part of my small, but growing NC collection! The 1882 $10 DB is unique, and the rest are all also quite rare. The $5 BB is a 1 of 4, and the 1882 $50 DB is a 1 of 7 for the entirety of NC. I’m pretty proud of my collection! Thoughts?

Most of us are familiar with the California gold rush, where entrepreneurs who sold pickaxes to prospectors became wildly successful. That analogy sums up George Stevens, whose general store prospered during the Wisconsin logging campaign of the 19th and 20th century. His operation, situated conveniently on the Wisconsin River, was frequented by loggers moving timber downriver. As the early logging mills gained their foothold and the area began to take shape, the city would be named Stevens Point.

Stevens Point gave rise to two prosperous national banks, both of whom out-lived the national banking era. The First NB of Stevens Point (#3001) and the Citizens NB of Stevens Point (#4912). Large and small notes are common for both banks, and opportunities to purchase an example are abundant. A few years ago the market became flooded with notes, likely the result of a single collector’s holdings being liquidated.

I purchased this example for its nice eye appeal, something I specifically look for on common national banks (often times that’s not an option for charters with few survivors).

I'm from around the Salisbury Nc area and I've always wanted a Salisbury note but they are crazy hard to find. I even own a coin shop and I've never had any Nc notes come in. I went to the Raleigh coin show today mostly to drop off a bunch of coins to be graded by anacs and decided to look around. I found a dealer with nothing but Nc national currency. I bought both notes. $400 and $600. I can't be happier.

With the addition of this surprisingly elusive 1902 Series from CH# 5030, I have officially completed my Atlanta 1902 set!

CH# 5030, The Third National Bank of Atlanta, was the fifth of ten total issuing banks chartered in the state capital of Georgia. While 1882 Series Nationals appear rather frequently on this bank, 1902’s are the exact opposite. This is one of those unusual banks where 1882’s are far more available than their 1902 counterparts. Just to paint the picture, the last time that a 1902 from CH# 5030 crossed the auction block was over two decades ago in 2004! Hence why this sleeper note was a difficult example to obtain.

Hi All!

I’m fairly new to national bank notes and have been looking to pick up a note from Watertown, MA. I’ve been looking at this note and have been trying to research if it has a fair asking price, but I’m having some difficulty. The comps in finding vary pretty significantly. Is there a good resource for values and would anyone able to provide advice on what would be a fair asking price?

Thanks!

Notes from The First National Bank of Fontanelle, Iowa come up sporadically at best. Only a handful of public offerings of large notes have occurred in the last 30 years.

Currently 12 Large and 5 small are reported in the NBNC for this Adair County bank. Open for business on January 1, 1904 until it's liquidation on August 12, 1930 the bank produced 36,112 Large size notes and 2,394 Small size notes of the $5, $10, and $20 denominations.

The city is named for chief Logan Fontanelle of the Omaha tribe, son of the French fur trader Lucien Fontanelle of the American Fur Company and an Omaha tribeswoman

The note features proud pen officer signatures of Cashier, William Arthur Addison (1881-1930) and President, John Fred Baudler (1855-1937)

Hi,I nead more info about value,tnx all

I’m on an 18-state vacation road trip and came across two SD notes that seemed to be priced at a big premium. I’m not an expert at all on these so thought I’d ask, is there a significant premium on South Dakota notes?

Couldn't pass it up, although I couldn't seem to find any others like it for sale in ebay. Plain back note.

I did find this sale from 2007:
