. This serial number 1 example
is the first to appear from this bank and is new to the cen-
sus. It is a gorgeous note, with great pen signatures and
bright, fully original paper. A serial number 8 example sold
15 years ago in a CAA sale, and we sold a serial number 9
note in January, 2011. The latter brought $5,520, and
although the grade was a bit higher than on this note, this
serial number 1 note has much more desirability and
appeal. A realization of twice that figure would not be at all
unreasonable in today's market.
Estimated Value ...................................... $9,000 - 12,000

. This is one of just five large size notes
reported on this rare bank. It is evenly circulated, with no
significant problems noticed whatsoever. It appears fully
original through the holder, with traces of original emboss-
ing still visible. A slightly lower grade $10 Plain Back exam-
ple from this bank brought more than $4,000 back in 2005,
and we would expect a slightly better realization today.

. While small size notes from this bank
appear from time to time, large size notes are exceedingly
rare. There are only four such examples, all from the 1902
series, reported in the latest census, and auction appear-
ances are few and far between. This note is moderately cir-
culated and has a few trivial rust stains on the back, as
mentioned by PCGS Currency, but the overall appeal is
hardly affected. Certainly rare enough to bring far above
our estimate, which may prove to be quite conservative.
Estimated Value ........................................ $4,000 - 5,000
