Here is another exciting Illinois find. No banknotes were known to exist before this stunner showed up late this summer. Apparently it was saved as part of Mr. Green's (the signing president) final de

Today the city of Van Hook lies under water. It was flooded to build Lake Sakakawea in the 1950s. In fact, the town wasn't even founded until 1915, which makes the fact that it could support a nationa

Pretty Arizona blue seals are few and far between. Fortunately, this Tucson note should be a welcome chance for collectors to add a great looking VF to their holdings.

A large size Manassas note from this charter has not been auctioned in the 21st century. And for the record, some significant Virginia holdings have been dispersed in that time period. There are just

Dark stamped signatures are the highlight of this relatively scarce Carroll County banknote.

A nice mid-grade example from the third of three note issuers to operate in this Carroll County community. It shows even problem free wear, good color, and dark printed signatures.

I hate having to call this peach just VF because it is one of the prettiest notes you will see. It has everything going for it, but it isn't rare enough to be cost prohibitive.

A decent circulated note from this very scarce northwestern Ohio bank that is one of a mere five large size reported from this community's sole issuer. The paper remains solid on this ten that retains

Here's a sharp 1902 blue seal for the Michigan collectors or for anyone working on a state-wide blue seal set.

The first of two really nice Fairfield, PA notes. Even if you don't collect Pennsylvania notes, this is just a flat out beautiful example of the two things most collectors look for in nationals: pen s

This note picked up an extra fold or two compared to its kin in the previous lot. Interestingly, this one is signed in black ink instead of blue. Another great quality national banknote.
