Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 580		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The First NB, Apache, OK. Charter #7127. PCGS Very Fine 25. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. This is by far the scarcer of the two banks in this Caddo County community, with this newly discovered example bringing the census to a total of just six small size notes reported. This is by far also the nicest of the known small size notes, with nothing else in the census grading above Fine. It's the first time in more than a decade that any small size note from this bank has appeared at auction, so any estimate is likely to be conservative as there are no recent sales to compare. Expect spirited bidding before one collector takes home this prize. Estimate Value $500 - 700 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $408
Lot 581		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The State NB, Depew, OK. Charter #12104. PCGS Very Fine 30. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. This bank was the only issuer in this Creek County community, and its total issue amounted to only $65,330. Only seven surviving examples are confirmed in the census, and this example is both new to the census and ranks as perhaps the finest known. The last time a note from this town was offered at auction was more than eight years ago, a good assessment of how many opportunities are available for collectors to obtain a piece from here. Estimate Value $400 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 582		1929, $10 National Bank Note. The Tanners NB, Catskill, NY. Charter #1198. PCGS Choice New 63. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. Although small size notes from this Greene County bank are not uncommon, there are only a handful of Uncirculated notes known. Estimate Value $350 - 450 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 583		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The Federal NB, Shawnee, OK. Charter #12339. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. Although this bank is represented by 9 small size notes in the census, they are always in demand because of the "forbidden" bank title which was grandfathered in after the law was changed to disallow any National Banks with "official" sounding names that might confuse the public into believing that a bank might be a government institution. This note is new to the census, and is far above average in grade--in fact, it may very well be the single finest known, as the census doesn't list a single piece above the VF grade. Estimate Value $250 - 350 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $168
Lot 584		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The Waggoner NB, Vernon, TX. Charter #5203. PCGS Very Fine 30. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. This good looking mid-grade note is from a scarcer town that was the only issuing location in Wilbarger County. Estimate Value $250 - 300 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $192
Lot 585		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The Union NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #6269. PCGS New 61 Apparent. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. Despite a few pinholes in the bottom margin that are mentioned by PCGS Currency on their grading label, this is a fully uncirculated example from a bank that usually comes in much lower grade. Estimate Value $200 - 250 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $144
Lot 586		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The First NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #5354. PCGS Very Fine 30. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. Small size notes from this bank are available due to small run of $20s that was saved at the time of issue, but $10s are legitimately rare; this solid mid-grade piece is just the third recorded surviving example. Estimate Value $150 - 200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $168
Lot 587		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The Union NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #6269. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. A moderately circulated example from this bank that had only $50,000 outstanding in 1935. The PCGS Currency label notes "minor stains," a somehat trivial flaw on this piece. Estimate Value $150 - 200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $168
Lot 588		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The NB of Commerce, Altus, OK. Charter #13756. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. This late chartered bank only issued small size Type 2 notes, and this one is new to the census. The PCGS Currency label notes a small puncture hole just to the left of the portrait, which is likely a spindle hole from decades ago--perhaps when the note was impaled on an upturned nail on a general store counter in Dust Bowl-era Oklahoma, to keep it from blowing away. Estimate Value $125 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $192
Lot 589		1929 Type 1, $10 National Bank Note. Oklahoma NB, Chickasha, OK. Charter #9938. PCGS Very Fine 20PPQ. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. A fully original and problem free mid-grade circulated example from this Grady County bank. Estimate Value $120 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $132
Lot 590		1929 Type 1, $10 National Bank Note. The First NB, Cushing, OK. Charter #6893. PCGS Very Fine 25. Fr-1801-1. KL-1243. The bottom margin is trimmed a bit tight, otherwise this is a wholesome $10 from this Payne County locale. Estimate Value $120 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $156
Lot 591		1929 Type 2, $10 National Bank Note. The First NB, Pawnee, OK. Charter #5224. PCGS Very Fine 30. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. This is a delightful circulated example from this evocatively named location, and is from a bank that was chartered back in the territorial period but still managed to have only $50,000 outstanding in circulation in 1935. Estimate Value $120 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $96
Lot 592		1929, $10 National Bank Note. The Kingston NB, Kingston, PA. Charter #14023. PCGS Very Fine 20. Fr-1801-2. KL-1244. A decent circulated Type 2 from this late-chartered bank. Estimate Value $100 - 125 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $72
Lot 593		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. First NB, Ardmore, OK. Charter #13677. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. This bank was chartered in April, 1933, during the depths of the Great Depression, and replaced the similarly named charter #12472. Only small size Type 2 notes were issued, and this stellar, lightly circulated example is new to the census which now numbers 16 survivors. Estimate Value $400 - 500 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 594		1929 Type 1, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Tom Bean, TX. Charter #11019. PCGS Very Good 8 Apparent. Fr-1802-1. KL-1317. The census has remained static at 10 small size notes reported for more than a decade, although this piece now bumps the total reported to 11. It has a number of rust stains visible that came from too-long storage with a paperclip attached, but it is otherwise whole and solid for the grade. There are never enough notes to supply the demand for examples from this bank, which is the only issuing institution in this town that has always been near the top of collector want lists due to its interesting nomenclature. Tom Bean was a surveyor from Bonham, and he donated a fifty-acre tract for a townsite and railroad right-of-way in Grayson County. Estimate Value $400 - 500 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $228
Lot 595		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #5354. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. This is one of three high grade Twenties from this bank offered here, obviously from a small group that was kept many years ago. This example is a lovely near-Gem with characteristically uneven top and bottom edges, a quaint feature of many Nationals from this era which were issued in hurried circumstances that resulted in scissorless cashiers simply tearing the notes by hand from the sheets. Estimate Value $350 - 450 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 596		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #5354. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. This high grade example has boardwalk margins and outstanding originality, and bears a much higher serial number than any of the other recorded Type 2 $20s in the census. Estimate Value $350 - 450 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 597		1929, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Hancock, NY. Charter #8613. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ. Fr-1802-1. KL-1317. This was the sole issuer in this small Delaware County community. Although a couple dozen small size examples are known from here, this is one of the higher grade pieces reported in the census. It has bold embossing and fully original surfaces. Estimate Value $300 - 400 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $216
Lot 598		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Chandler, OK. Charter #5354. PCGS Choice New 63PPQ. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. A lovely note with terrific originality and embossing, although the hard-torn margins are just a little too tight for a higher grade. Estimate Value $250 - 350 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 599		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. The Citizens NB, Anthony, KS. Charter #6752. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. This note is from a Harper County bank that is seldom seen in high grade. The PCGS Currency holder notes some pinholes and a bit of minor soiling, but neither flaw hurts the appearance all that much. Estimate Value $125 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $240
Lot 600		1929 Type 2, $20 National Bank Note. The First NB, Cushing, OK. Charter #6893. PCGS Very Fine 25. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. This nice VF example has better margins than the $10 from the same bank here offered, although a single unobtrusive pinhole near the upper right corner is noticeable through the crystal clear PCGS Currency holder. Estimate Value $120 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $120
Lot 601		1929, $20 National Bank Note. The Delaware NB, Delhi, NY. Charter #1323. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. Fr-1802-1. KL-1317. There is some glue-like substance near the portrait on the face side of this note, otherwise it's a solid mid-grade example. Estimate Value $100 - 150 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 602		1929, $20 National Bank Note. The Second NB, Wilkes-Barre, PA. Charter #104. PCGS Very Fine 25. Fr-1802-2. KL-1318. A solid VF Type 2 Twenty. Estimate Value $50 - 60 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $48
Lot 603		1929, $50 National Bank Note. Bishop First NB of Honolulu, Hawaii. Fr-1803-1. KL-1378. Type 1. A wonderful bright gem example that cannot be upgraded. CGA graded Gem Uncirculated 65. Estimate Value $3,000 - 4,000* View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 604		1929 Type 2, $100 National Bank Note. Bank of America NT & SA, San Francisco, CA. Fr-1804-2. KL-1438. There are less than 400 Type 2 $100 small size Nationals in the census from the entire country, although about 45% of the survivors nationwide come from this bank. It�s a scarce type regardless, and one that�s always in demand from type note collectors. Estimate Value $250 - 300 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $240
