New Bedford, MA The First NB Ch. # 261 Blue Stained Paper PMG 30 $5 Fr. 401 Allison | New SN 871/A586476 pp D/no bp dtd. Feb. 20th, 1864. This is hardly a rare bank, but this example is one of only two 1875 $5s reported from here to date. It's a bright and attractive note with good color and signatures, along with unusually wide margins for a First Charter from New England. Blue-stained paper was used and this is most visible from the back. Typically the printer oriented the paper so the backs were printed on the side with the staining less evident--not the case here. Columbus' left leg (Viewer's right) is blue and the opposite leg, not. Act date of 1863 VAR 2/Back C/3. All series 1875 have C/3 backs.

Hattiesburg, MS The First-NB of Commerce Ch. # (S)5176 PMG 30 $5 1882 DB Fr. 538 SN 19361/H561896 pp D/70 dtd. Aug. 8, 1908. Best of a very scarce Mississippi type. The First-National Bank of Commerce was the only bank in the entire state of Mississippi to issue $5 1882 Date Backs. This is one of only six examples recorded from this bank and thus the state. This example is also the finest of that half dozen, with bright paper, nice color, and just even wear. Faded purple signatures are legible for Rudolph C. Hauenstein, Cashier and J.P Carter, President.

Boston, MA The First NB Ch. # (N)200 PMG 15 $5 1902 RS Fr. 587 SN 28436/K294924 pp A/106 Feb. 25, 1903. The signatures are bold in black, but mostly illegible--the cashier is Frederic H. Curtis and the President is D.G. Wing. The red has faded slightly, there's some wallet soiling from a time when the note was folded into a ~2"X2" square, and the center fold are the main detractors. The Treasury serial number is what I call a RADARD. Yes a radard. The first five digits make up a radar and the middle digit in the 'd' position repeats at the end, so a radard. It's a side-ways radar... a radard that makes you want to find the raddar (i.e. SN 249942 or the 294492 notes).

Keene, NH The Citizens NB Ch. # 2299 PMG 25 Net $10 1875 Fr. 416 SN 2690/K296099 pp A Repaired, minor discoloration Sept. 25th, 1875. Cashier H. (Herbert) B. Viall and President O. (Obed) G. Dort. A rare early note from this Cheshire County institution. Notably, three other $10 Series of 1875 examples are recorded in the census including SN 2689 pp A PMG 2508047-011. While PMG does note some repairs and minor discoloration, both are trivial, with the note displaying great color and eye appeal for the grade. It also features a fancy title layout seen on literally a handful of Series of 1875 examples from all banks combined. This is from one of the earliest BEP prepared plates and displays a bold, thick, blocky script for the postal location and plate date found on only 8 charter numbers using 3x10-20 plates from this period. Printed on white paper with two horizontal threads which succeeded vertically banded blue-stained paper. From the David F. Noyes Collection, Part II.
