$5 1902PB The Planters N.B. of Walnut Ridge, AR  Ch. #12083  Basically Fine or better but substantially damaged by staining and tape.  A "filler" from this very scarce and evocatively-named bank, which may benefit from professional restoration.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   $650.00

$20 1902PB  The Covina N.B., Covina, CA  Ch. #8222  Fine+.  No signatures, but an evenly circulated and bright note.  A very elusive Los Angeles County bank.  This previously unreported example brings the census to 7 large size notes.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   3150.00

$20 1902PB  The First N.B. of Delano, CA  Ch. #9195  PMG Choice Fine 15.  The edges are slightly rough and, in my opinion, I would grade the note a bit lower than PMG; nonetheless an evenly circulated and presentable example.  This is a rare Kern County bank, with just six notes reported.  The bank did not issue small size notes.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   3100.00

$20 1929I  The First N.B. of Hanford, CA  Ch. #5863  PMG VF 25.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   335.00

$10 1902PB  The First N.B. of Lodi, CA  Ch. #(P)7719  PMG Choice Fine 15.  Evenly circulated, with legible pen signatures.  San Joaquin County.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   895.00

$20 1902DB  The First N.B. of Modesto, CA  Ch. #(P)3136  Good.  Rough edges, a few holes, and a bit of rust.  A candidate for professional restoration.  Even so, it actually is reasonably presentable considering the amount of circulation it's seen.  New to the census, this is only the eighth note to surface from this small Stanislaus County institution.  Rarely available, it has a Track & Price value of $4000 in VG.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   2595.00

$10 1929I  The First N.B. of Oakdale, CA  Ch.#7502  Fine or a bit better.  Stanislaus County. . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   425.00

$5 1902PB  The First N.B. of Oakland, CA  Ch. #(P)2248  Fine.  A bit of unobtrusive scribble on the face that probably could be removed.    . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   175.00

$10 1902PB  Central N.B. of Oakland, CA  Ch. #(P)9502  Fine.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   225.00

$20 1902PB  The First N.B. of Ontario, CA   Ch. #(P)6258  PMG Ch. Fine 15  A popular San Bernardino County issue.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   550.00

$5 1902PB  Pasadena N.B., Pasadena, CA  Ch. #12385  Fine.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   395.00

$5 1929II  The Capital N.B. of Sacramento, CA  CH# 10107  PMG VF 25  Tougher Type II from the capital.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   155.00

$10 1929II  Crocker First N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #1741  AU-Unc. and likely to "slab" as CU.  Bright and crisp although the centering could be better.  A nice note.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   285.00

$10 1929I  The Anglo California N.B. of San Francisco  Ch. #9174  PMG VF 25   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   95.00

$5 1929I  Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  VF+, with a trace of paperclip rust.  Nice note overall.  Slightly scarcer San Francisco bank.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   95.00

$10 1929I  Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  Fine-VF.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   105.00

$5 1929I  The First N.B. of Scotia, CA  Ch. #9787  PMG VF 20.  A couple of minor scuffs, but a presentable example from this elusive Humboldt County community in coastal Northern California.  . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   575.00

$10 1902PB  The First N.B. of Tustin, CA  Ch. #10134  Fine+.  One corner professionally repaired, but it’s almost undetectable.  A good-looking, evenly circulated, and very scarce Orange County issue.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1650.00
