Lebanon, PA The Valley NB Charter #655 $5 Series of 1875 Fr. 401. PMG 25 SN 1140/K551880 pp B dtd. Dec. 30th, 1864. A very scarce item from this seldom offered large only Lebanon bank as this is the only Series of 1875 $5 reported from here. It is an attractive mid grade note with bold ink colors and dark signatures of Jac. (Jacob B.) Karch, Cashier and George Hoffman, President. This large size only bank chartered December 30, 1864 and was liquidated December 1, 1920, ~56 years later. The paper features two continuous horizontal threads the use of which is consistent with production in 1880 as indicated by the treasury SN. The Continental BN Co. is found in the lower border as the BEP didn't replace with their imprint until about 1887 for any new or replacement plates.

Keene, NH The Citizens NB Ch. # 2299 Blocky Script Plate Dates and Postal Locations (only on earliest BEP Plates--8 other charters for 3x10-20); White paper with two continuous horizontal threads PMG 20 minor repairs $10 1875 Fr. 416 SN 2689/K296098 pp A Sept. 25th, 1875. Cashier H. (Herbert) B. Viall and President O. (Obed) G. Dort. The Citizens National Bank of Keene was incorporated on September 18, 1875, and began business on October 1 of the same year opening to the public on November 1. The capital was $100,000. Stephen D. Osborne was the founding president, and Obed G. Dort was the first cashier. In some listings the bank title was in the possessive, as Citizens', but most omitted the apostrophe. The bank did well, and in various audits all was found to be financially sound. On August 11, 1924, A.M. Avery, acting chief of the Organization Division of the Treasury Department, sent this memo to the chief of the Examining Division: "The Ashuelot National Bank of Keene (946) and the Citizens National Bank of Keene (2299), Keene, New Hampshire, contemplate consolidating under the act of November 7, 1918, under the charter of the Ashuelot National Bank of Keene, and under the title of the Ashuelot-Citizens National Bank of Keene. Please advise if there are any assets of either association which should not be taken into the consolidated bank." On September 6, 1924, the aforementioned consolidation took place, the Ashuelot-Citizens National Bank became the title, and the Citizens National Bank of Keene was no more.

Kansas City, MO The Merchants NB Ch. # 2440 PMG 15 $20 1875 Fr. 434 Scofield | Gilfillan SN 4224/D835646 pp A dtd. Jany. 8th, 1880. An excessively rare note from a short lived Kansas City bank which issued Series 1875 notes only before closing in 1891. Just four examples extant (2-5s, 1-10, 1-20 series of 1875), one of $5s is locked away in the Higgins Museum. Not only is this a rare bank, this Series 1875 $20 is a very rare type and denomination from any Missouri bank with just five pieces reported, with one of those also in the Higgins Museum. Boldly pen signed $20 with excellent color and solid paper for the grade. Security paper with two horizontal threads.
