The Fourth NB of Montgomery, AL Ch#S5877. Better type notes always add to a state capitol collection and this one sure fits the bill! It is a nice looking note with a bold blue overprint. Trimmed close at the top with a larger bottom margin, it has light blue stamped sigs that are tough to decipher. Only 6 of these are known from this bank, 2 in AU, 1 in AG and 2 Fines, including this note. Add a tougher type to your state capitol collection. Also a neat note for a state collection! |

The First NB of Mansfield, AR Ch#S11195. This beauty comes from a small town just south of Fort Smith. Interestingly both banks chartered in this town were chartered back to back - 11195 and 11196!

A couple of pinholes at the right are not a distraction. This eye appealing note is perfect for a state set. |

The First NB of Davenport, IA Ch# 15. Here's a really neat and rare item for the Iowa collector - an uncut pair of type 1 $10s, ser# A000002A and B000002A! These are neat for at least 2 reasons - this was the first national bank to open for business in 1863 and serial# 2 small size notes from Iowa are very tough. The Kelly census shows but 9 serial#2 type 1 notes from the state, only 1 of them close to this in grade. That note is from the bottom of this sheet - the other 8 come from 8 different banks with only 1 in VF, the others in very low grade! A great combination of grade and rarity make this a very special item indeed! The notes are fresh and beautiful with deep embossing and a very light vertical center bend. There is also a horizontal fold between the notes that does enter the design on the bottom note. Notes like this add to any great collection. |

That's very few offers for the average collector considering that 31 notes are known. Most may be closely held, but either way few have been offered for the many Iowa collectors.

The Old Boston NB of Boston, MA Ch#(1015). What a great title on this early bank, chartered in 1865 and closed in 1916. While they issued 5 different types of notes, only 8 have survived, covering each of the types! This Ace has the usual close New England trim all around and shows a light brown aging. There are 3 sharp vertical folds with larger tears that have been professional sealed and strengthened, showing only on the back. The note does not show a lot of wear as the embossing of the title shows very clearly on the back. Bold brown pen sigs and a bright red overprint add to its eye appeal. The only other Ace in the census grades XF and was last sold in 1991 by John Hickman. We feel that an overall grade of F-VF accurately describes the note. |

The First NB of Lake Crystal, MN Ch#6918. A most attractive note from this small Blue Earth County town in the far south central part of the state. Two banks were chartered here with each bank showing only 5-6 larges known. Smalls from this bank are available and have had to do for many collectors. To the dismay of many collectors, only 1 large has appeared at auction, that one on the other bank (Ch#11401). It was a VF that SOLD a few years ago for $1500. We are very pleased to have this elusive note to offer. Clean, crispy, original paper make for strong eye appeal, as do the stamped blue sigs. The paper feels more like a VF but a few extra folds force us to assign a more conservative grade of Fine-VF, one that we feel is quite accurate. For those seeking a very nice large example from this town, your wait is over. This one is sure to please! SOLD |

The First NB of Natchez, MS Ch#3701. Open from 1887 - 1895, this small bank issued only $67,200 of $5BBs leaving but $605 outstanding in 1910. This is a very rare and desirable type from this tough state with only 15 $5BBs known from 9 different banks. It is one of 2 known on this bank, the other listed without a grade. Only 25 BBs have survived, 14 of them grading Fine or better - 6 in Good or VG. Not much to select from when trying to assemble a BB state set, especially the popular $5 notes. Our note is well circulated with decent margins and color for the grade. A small 1/2" piece is missing at the upper right above the Treasury serial# and extends just into the design. The pen signatures are extremely nice, hard to figure how with the amount of wear. A key note for the BB collector or for those assembling a collection of MS nationals. We sure don't expect to see many more of these showing up anytime soon. Take advantage of the situation to add a super tough note to your collection! |

Ty1 | 1929 | $20 |
The Empire NB of Clarksburg, WV Ch#7029. A rather unique title adds to the desirability of this nice looking, evenly circulated note. Plenty of crispness on this nicely margined note. |
Fine | $125 | |

PB | 1902 | $50 |
The First Huntington NB, Huntington, WV Ch#3106. Here's a great looking note that is also very rare! Series 1902 $50s from WV are very rare with no date backs known and only 8 plain backs known, all from this bank, the only one to issue! Only 3 of them approach this one in grade. Bright white paper, a bold blue overprint and attractive dark black sigs add to its great eye appeal. The top is trimmed tight but not into the design line. The paper has good crispness and the note looks close to CU at first glance as the folds/bends are very light. A small spot in the lower right margin affects nothing at all. For those seeking a really neat WV note, we invite you to check out this beauty as it has a lot to offer! SOLD |

BB | 1882 | $5 |
The Farmers and Producers NB of Sistersville, WV Ch#S5028. A great title graces this well worn and slightly abused $5BB. A tear at the left extends to the portrait line with some missing ink on the back. It still represents this popular type for a much tougher state. |
G-VG | $750 | |

BB | 1882 | $5 |
The First NB of Appleton, WI Ch#1749. A nice pen signed $5 BB from Wisconsin is surely a nice find! The paper has good crispness but has some light but even soiling. It has a nice no tombstone layout with a nice flowing title. The top and bottom margins are trimmed close but do not touch the design. |

Ty1 | 1929 | $5 |
The Burlington NB, WI Ch#11783. A very well circulated note from a popular town in the far SE part of the state. Soiled and trimmed in along the top, it is not a thing of beauty but will fit well in someones collection. SOLD |
VG | $275 | |

BB | 1882 | $5 |
The First NB of Lake Geneva, WI Ch#3125. A simply superb note from this popular resort area about 90 miles NW of Chicago. It became the playground of the rich and famous from the Chicago area who built their elegant summer homes on Geneva Lake in the late 1880s and 1890s. This fresh and original beauty would grade Ch CU if not for a small nick in the top that is but a very minor distraction. Outstanding brown pen sigs and a great title add to its excellent eye appeal. This type was missing from the Chet Krause collection. Only 2 BBs are known: a Gem in a major collection and a G-VG. This beauty should generate strong interest from the collectors of this popular state. As a aside: the town name at the lower left is Geneva, as compared to Lake Geneva as in the title layout! Quite interesting - check out the scans. |

BB | 1882 | $5 |
The First NB of Monroe, WI Ch#230. A sharp looking, early $5BB with the first Wisconsin state seal on the back. Notes from this popular town always seem to be in demand, especially a BB as sharp looking as this one! Bold pen sigs, good margins and color and clean paper with good body all add up to a neat note for the serious WI collector. |

BB | 1882 | $5 |
The National Union Bank of Oshkosh, WI Ch#4508. A superb note that shows why $5BBs are so widely collected! A great layout coupled with outstanding pen sigs makes for a wonderful note. It comes from a BB only bank and it is the best note in the census! Good margins, great color and tons of eye appeal complete the package! It would be hard to ask for anything more in a $5 BB from this popular state! |

Ty2 | 1929 | $5 |
The First NB of Port Washington, WI Ch#9419. A top notch note from this very popular one bank town located about 35 miles north of Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan. We have spent many enjoyable weekends in this quaint town. A very tough type 2 note with low serial# A000006 graded by PMG as CH AU58. This is one of the nicest notes from this bank as many are much lower grade. Well centered with light handling and decent embossing, we are pleased to have this beauty to offer. We have seen VG smalls sell at $1200-$1600 making this rarer and top quality type 2 note a real winner. ON HOLD |

Ty1 | 1929 | $10 |
The American NB of Ripon, WI Ch#4305. This rare note comes with the second title changed from the German NB in 1918. Only 5 are listed in the Kelly census, 2 VGs and 2 Fines, 1 ungraded. This note is new to the census and should attract attention from the many WI collectors out there. A 1/2" tear at the top has been closed to prevent any damage. |
