Estimate Value $15,000 - 20,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $19,200

This is a scarce Second Charter note that is one of only two 1882 Date Back $10s from this bank reported in the census. It has a trivial bit of edge damage in the right margin which is duly noted by PCGS, and it's trimmed in just a bit at the top right, otherwise it's a perfectly acceptable and presentable piece. Estimate Value $600 - 800 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $348
Lot 533		1902, $5 National Bank Note. Fr-587. KL-1143. An incredible rarity from a bank that is represented by only four examples, all large size, in the census of surviving National Bank Notes, this note has the added bonus of being a serial number 1 Red Seal. It's from the "D" plate position, and has outstanding pen signatures of the bank officers. Although the margins are a little tight, exhibiting a "New England" trim which isn't unusual from New York small town banks either, the paper is bright and completely original, and the colors and inks are bold and provide excellent contrast. The red overprint is particularly vivid. This "trophy note" last sold for almost $7500 in a Stacks sale back in 2010, and we expect a number of collectors to offer strong bids today. Estimate Value $8,000 - 12,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

This is the only Red Seal reported on this bank, and it bears the serial number 9B. It has a bit of damage (mostly in the in the lower right corner) caused by some rust stains, but what it lacks in eye appeal it certainly makes up for in rarity. Estimate Value $700 - 1,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 536		1902, $5 Red Seal. National Bank Note. The Harney County NB of Burns, Oregon. Fr-589. KL-1145. Charter 8691, Serial #11. A tremendous new discovery from the state of Oregon.

Not only is this note nice, but is is adorned with sereial #11. This example is probably the finest note known on this bank. A pleasing Very Good.
