Click on links below to view a scan of the note.  I gladly will e-mail additional scans of any note upon request.

 $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   . . .   $1195.00

$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   . . .   1375.00

$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   . . .   2850.00

$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   . . .   725.00

$10 1929II  Crocker First N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #1741  Fine.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   85.00

$5 1929I  The Anglo & London ParisN.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #9174  VG-Fine.  Paperclip rust.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   67.00

$20 1902DB  The Merchants N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #(P)8487  PMG VF 20.  A rare San Francisco bank, with this note one of just five total examples reported.  Bank serial number 6666.  Ex-Eric Agnew.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1650.00

$5 1902PB  The Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  Fine+.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   230.00

$10 1929I  Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  Fine-VF.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   92.00

$20 1929II  Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  Ch. CU.  Type II $20s are elusive from this bank, and it would be difficult to improve upon this nice Uncirculated example.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   350.00

$20 1929I  Bank of Suisun N. Assoc., Suisun City, CA  Ch. #11684  VF+.  A nice, bright example from this elusive Solano County bank.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   695.00

$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. Three have come on the market lately, all from the Hal Pittman collection auctioned by Stack's Bowers.  Don't be fooled: they are really tough!  . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   850.00

$10 1902PB  The City N.B. of Colorado Springs, CO  Ch. #6238  VG-Fine or so.  There is a short (less than 1/2"), unobtrusive, edge tear and three or four tiny, pinhole-sized, holes at the fold junctures.  However, it is a presentable note with a legible signature of the president and a bold blue cashier's signature.  This is the 14th note -- plus one uncut sheet -- to surface with the "Colorado Springs" title, but they remain elusive and bring strong prices at auction.  . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1500.00
