$10 1902PB The Consolidated N.B. of Tucson, AZ Ch. #4287 VG. Well circulated but presentable, with strong signatures. An elsuive Western city for large size notes. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . $1225.00
$5 1902PB New First N.B. of Hartford, AR Ch. #11830 PCGS Fine 15 “Paperclip Rust Stains on Back.” The rust is minor and hardly detracts. Light but legible signatures. Genuinely rare. This previously unreported note is only the second example with this title and only the fifth large size note to surface from this small bank. The bank used this title for less than one year, and this note is from the 39th of only 1318 sheets issued with this nomenclature. The last example with this title to sell at auction was in 2000, when a VG 8 note realized $2420 in a Smythe sale. FACE . . . BACK . . . 1450.00
$20 1902PB The Covina N.B., Covina, CA Ch. #8222 PMG VF 20. A very elusive Los Angeles County issue, with just eight notes known and few public offerings. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 2950.00
$10 1929I The First N.B. of Hanford, CA Ch. #5863 PMG VF 30. An evenly circulated example from the Kings County seat. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 350.00
$10 1902PB The First N.B. of Hollister, CA Ch. #(P)9378 PMG VF 30. A pleasing note with legible pen signatures. Hollister is the county seat of San Benito County and the only municipality in this small county with note-issuing banks. This bank issued only large size notes, while the other, late-chartered, institution issued only small size. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 1350.00
$10 1929I The First N.B. of Monterey, CA Ch. #7219 VF-EF. A beautiful note that was in my personal collection for many years before I was able to upgrade it. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 1195.00
$20 1929I The First N.B. of Pacific Grove, CA Ch. #13375 VF+. Professionally cleaned, with a pleasing result. Quite attractive. A popular Monterey County issue, and this appears to be a replacement note as well. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 750.00
$5 1902PB The First N.B. of Pomona, CA Ch. #3518 Fine+. An evenly circulated example from eastern Los Angeles County. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 385.00
$10 1882VB The Wells Fargo Nevada N.B. of San Francisco, CA Ch. #(P)5105 VG. Pinholes, with a couple that could be considered spindle holes. Very reasonably priced for a California Value Back. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . $375.00
$5 1902PB The Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA Ch. #12579 Fine+. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 235.00

$10 1929I City N.B. of San Francisco, CA Ch. #13016 PCGS VF 20. A presentable example with the second title of the Brotherhood National Bank. Not only was this a union bank, it also is the most elusive San Francisco issuer of small size notes, by far. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 150.00
$20 1929I The First N.B. of Ventura, CA Ch. #7210 PCGS VF 20 PPQ. Quite scarce as a 1929 issue, with only seven small size notes reported. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 1275.00
$10 1902DB The United States N.B. of Denver, CO Ch. #(W)7408 Fine or so, with legible signatures. Just the fourth $10 Date Back to surface from this better "forbidden title" bank. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 299.00
$10 1929I The First N.B. of Loveland, CO Ch. #7648 PMG VF 25. A nice example from this scarce western bank. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 650.00
$20 1902PB The First N.B. of Paonia, CO Ch. #6671 Fine 12 Net: "severed and reattached." The repair was done by arguably the best currency restorer in the country, and the result looks pretty good considering the starting point. One of just ten large size notes known from the bank. . . . FACE . . . BACK . . . 495.00
