$20 1929I  The First N.B. of Columbia, IL  Ch. #7717  Good.  A well-worn example with a tear and a piece missing from the bottom edge.  Scarce note; this can be a "filler" until you find a better one.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   93.00

$5 1929I  The Merchants N.B. of Indianapolis, IN  Ch. #869  VF   . . .    FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   92.00

$10 1929I  N.B. and Trust Co. of Chariton, IA  Ch. #13458  VF+   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   175.00

$10 1902PB  The Commercial N.B. of Waterloo, IA  Ch. #(M)2910  Fine.  Many pinholes and a couple of tiny rust spots, but overall a presentable note with even circulation and legible signatures.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   160.00

$5 1929II  The Farmers N.B. of Abilene, KS  Ch. #8379  VF+, minor rust, hardly noticeable.  Just 26 small size notes reported, and this is the first Type II $5 to surface.  Nice note.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   225.00

$10 1929I  The El Dorado N.B., El Dorado, KS  Ch. #6494  Fine-VF.  27 small size note reported.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   195.00

$10 1929I  The First N.B. of Herington, KS  Ch. #4058  VF, but with a bit of rust and a half-inch square piece missing including the top left corner.  A scarce note, and this is a bright and very acceptable "filler" until an undamaged example comes along.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   145.00

$10 1902RS  The Commercial N.B. of Kansas City, KS  Ch. #(W) 6311  Fine, but trimmed and pressed.  Very uncommon as a Red Seal.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   635.00

$10 1902PB  The Home N.B. of Longton, KS  Ch. #9911  Bright Fine or better.  A couple of pinholes and two small, unobtrusive, spindle holes, are more than offset by decent purple stamped signatures.  Quite rare: this previously unreported example makes five known large size notes from a bank that left a scant $1560 large size outstanding in 1935.  This is likely the second best of the five.  Lyn Knight sold a VF 25 example in 2017 for $3231.  The other issuing bank in town is unreported.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   1750.00

$20 1929I  Louisiana N.B. of Baton Rouge, LA  Ch. #9834  PMG Fine 12.  State capital.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   150.00

$5 1902PB  The Whitney-Central N.B. of New Orleans, LA  Ch. #(S)3069  Fine+.  A pleasing example, the face slightly better than the back, but evenly circulated.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   235.00

$5 1902PB  The Commercial N.B. of Shreveport, LA  Ch. #3600  VG, with a few edge tears, some staining, and a thin spot.    . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   120.00

$5 1882BB  The Marine N.B. of Bath, ME  Ch. #782  VG-Fine, with scattered pinholes.  A presentable Brown Back with a really neat "tombstone."  Only 16 notes reported.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   815.00

$5 1882VB  The Denton N.B., Denton, MD  Ch. #(E)2547  Fine-VF.  Many tiny pinholes, but those are offset by strong pen signatures.  An attractive note.    . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK    . . .   950.00

$5 1902PB  The Denton N.B., Denton, MD  Ch. #(E)2547  VF.  The face looks more like EF, the back shows a bit more wear.  A bright, crisp example.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   715.00

$5 1929I  The Frederick County N.B., Frederick, MD  Ch. #1449  Fine.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   145.00

$20 1929I  The First N.B. of Westminster, MD  Ch. #742  AU.  Poorly cut, very slightly into the top frame of the design on the face.  Still quite attractive, high grade, and popular.   . . .   FACE   . . .   BACK   . . .   355.00
