$5 1929I  The Merchants N.B. of Mobile, AL  Ch. #13097  VG-Fine, perhaps better.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   89.00

$20 1902PB  The Yuma N.B., Yuma, AZ  Ch. #(P)9608  PCGS VF 20.  Bright for the grade, in an older style PCGS holder.  A town with a lot of Western history, which now serves as the winter growing region  for several of the produce giants based in Monterey County, California.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   2500.00

$10 1929I  The First N.B. of De Witt, AR  Ch. #10178  Fine   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   155.00

$20 1902PB  The First N.B. of Delano, CA  Ch. #9195  PMG Choice Fine 15.  The edges are slightly rough and, in my opinion, I would grade the note a bit lower than PMG; nonetheless an evenly circulated and presentable example.  This is a rare Kern County bank, with just six notes reported.  The bank did not issue small size notes.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   3250.00

$20 1929I  The First N.B. of El Monte, CA  Ch. #6993  Fine.  An elusive Los Angeles County issuer.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   625.00

$20 1902DB  The First N.B. of Modesto, CA  Ch. #(P)3136  Good.  Rough edges, a few holes, and a bit of rust.  A candidate for professional restoration.  Even so, it actually is reasonably presentable considering the amount of circulation it's seen.  New to the census, this is only the eighth note to surface from this small Stanislaus County institution.  Rarely available, it has a Track & Price value of $4000 in VG.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   2695.00

$5 1902PB  The First N.B. of Oakland, CA  Ch. #(P)2248  Fine.  A bit of unobtrusive scribble on the face that probably could be removed.    . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   185.00

$5 1929I  The First N.B. of Pacific Grove, CA  Ch. #13375  Fine+.  A pleasing note from this Monterey County hamlet, a former Methodist retreat known as “Butterfly Town, U.S.A” for the annual return of monarch butterflies to the town as a wintering habitat.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   550.00

$5 1902RS  The Crocker N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #(P)3555  Fine-VF.  An evenly circulated, mid-grade, San Francisco Red Seal, and scarce and in demand as such.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1395.00

$10 1929I  Pacific N.B. of San Francisco, CA  Ch. #12579  Fine-VF.  Slightly scarcer San Francisco bank.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   115.00

$50 1902PB  The First N.B. of San Jose, CA  Ch. #2158  Good-VG  A bit rough but still presentable.  One of just four Plain Back $50s reported from what is now the capital of Silicon Valley.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   750.00

$10 1929I  The First N.B. of Santa Ana, CA  Ch. #3520  Fine or a bit better.   The seal and serial numbers have bled through to the back, but it hardly detracts and the face looks great.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .  195.00

$5 1929I  The Commercial N.B. of Santa Ana, CA  Ch. #13200  PCGS Fine 12.  Scarcer Santa Ana bank.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   240.00

$10 1902PB  Santa Cruz County N.B. of Santa Cruz, CA  Ch. #(P)9745  PMG Fine 15.  22 large size notes with this title.  A popular and elusive 1902 example from "Surf City, USA."   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1485.00

$20 1882BB  The First N.B. of Colorado Springs, CO  Ch. #2179  VF.  One pinhole in the lower left corner noted for accuracy.  A bnright, attractive, well centered example with strong signatures.  Quite rare as a Brown Back from this location.  The last $20 Brown Back to sell at auction was in 2008, when a note in about the same grade as this one realized $3737.50 in a Lyn Knight Sale.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   $2850.00
