This is by far the nicest Brown Back for this bank, and one of the finest $20's for the state overall. Although there are 21 large currently on the census for this bank, most are 3rd charter notes.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,495
Lot 5134		Fr-545. 1882, $10 National Bank Note, FNB Grantsville, MD. . Fr-545. . KL-1205. PCGS Very Fine 30 PPQ.This is an exceedingly rare note on an equally rare bank. It was one of the marquis notes in Rob's collection. Kelly shows just 5 large notes in the census, and with just $1520 outstanding, that number may not get much higher. Needless to say, this is the finest of the type and only the 2nd Second Charter note reported. Estimated Value $8,000 - 12,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,840

Lot 5138		Fr-577. 1882, $10 National Bank Note, Citizens NB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-577. . KL-1212. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ. This is the Cumberland city bank affectionately referred to as "the rare city bank". As only 4 large size have been reported on this bank, that label is totally understandable. The Rob Lehmann collection contains by far the finest known group of notes from this bank, and the present example is no exception. Lovely color and embossing are evident on this super-original note. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300

When Rob went looking for a Value Back to represent this bank, he found it to be a real stopper.

Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,400. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5142		Fr-581. 1882, $20 National Bank Note, Citizens NB of Cumberland, MD. . Fr-581. . KL-1284. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ.

Lot 5144		Fr-598. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Lonaconing, MD. . Fr-598. . KL-1155. PCGS Fine 12.Lonaconing, or "Coney" as the locals call it, represents one of the real challenges of collecting this area. This rare one-bank town had a very small issuance and only 5 notes are known to the census today. The Shank specimen, a fine $20 3rd charter, sold in 1998 for $4950. This is a very rare note with very infrequent auction appearances. Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5145		Fr-598. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, Hoblitzell NB of Hyndman, PA. . Fr-598. . KL-1155. PCGS Very Fine 20.This Hyndman blue seal is another rare find from the Rob Lehmann collection.

Lot 5146		Fr-598. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Napa, CA. . Fr-598. . KL-1155. PCGS Very Fine 25. Always popular and with only 12 large size notes in the census, this one bank, wine producing town can prove elusive. If you desire one large note from California's wine country, then grab up this one, as the other banks are all but impossible to find. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,450
Lot 5147		Fr-598. New Freedom, Pennsylvania. 1902, $5 National Bank Note. . Fr-598. . KL-1155.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $776
Lot 5148		Fr-600. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Kitzmillerville, MD. . Fr-600. . KL-1157. PCGS Very Fine 30 PPQ.This is one of the stoppers in Western Maryland banks. With only 5 notes reported and a meager $1490 outstanding, these notes just don't show up. The present specimen from this one bank town in southern Garrett County is probably one of the finest known, as most are very heavily circulated. The Shank example brought $3520 back in 1998.

Lot 5150		Fr-601. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Romney, WV. . Fr-601. . KL-1158. PCGS Fine 12. Although it is well known local lore that the number 1 note exists on this bank, it is unfortunately bolted to the bank's walls with absolutely no intention of ever parting with it. That makes this number 2 note, which by the way is new to the census, even more desirable. Romney is a little one-bank town 30 miles southwest of Cumberland, MD. Situated on the crossroads of Routes 50 and 28, it is one of those small town thoroughfares that many people pass through, but few people stop for. This fresh note is a great find, and as most collectors are aware, number 2's are many times rarer than number 1's. Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,100. The Rob Lehmann Collection.

Lot 5151		Fr-601. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Romney, WV. . Fr-601. . KL-1158. PCGS Very Fine 25. Kelly reports 8 large notes, with this higher grade specimen a new addition to the census. A very scarce one-bank town, Romney notes have all but dried up. But then, West Virginia is a much more collected state than it was 10 years ago. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $810
Lot 5152		Fr-604. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, Citizens NB Frostburg, MD. . Fr-604. . KL-1161. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ. This note has beautiful originality and at first glance, appears uncirculated. With only 14 large reported, this is a tougher Allegany County bank. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553
Lot 5153		Fr-607. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Midland, MD. . Fr-607. . KL-1164. PCGS Fine 15. Midland lies directly in the middle of the Georges Creek corridor of Allegany County, hence the town's name. Like many of these Western Maryland communities, it is a one bank town and large size notes are very scarce. Kelly reports 12 large notes, although their appearances are few and far between. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553
Lot 5154		Fr-608. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Grantsville, MD. . Fr-608. . KL-1165. PCGS Apparent Fine 12. This is a very rare note with few auction appearances. Even the Armand Shank collection which was auctioned in 5/1998 lacked it's inclusion. An amish settled community with a great name, this one-bank town is nestled 20 miles to the west of Cumberland up in the mountains of Garrett County. Kelly shows 5 large notes in the census, this being one of them. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5155		Fr-608. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Luray, VA. . Fr-608. . KL-1165. PCGS Very Fine 20.Kelly shows just 6 notes in the census on this prohibitively rare bank. Very few auction appearances are noted on this note, a testimant that most survivors are in very tight hands.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,530
Lot 5156		Fr-608. 1902, $5 National Bank Note, FNB Friendsville, MD. . Fr-608. . KL-1165. PCGS Fine 12.This is a great note from a rare one bank town. Furthermore, it is signed by L.E. Friend as bank president. The Friends were a very prominant banking family that still have decendents in the area today. Kelly shows only 8 notes in the census, this being one of them. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 5157		Fr-613. 1902, $10 Red Seal National Bank Note, Hoblitzell National Bank of Hyndman, PA. . Fr-613. . KL-1216. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ.A beautiful red seal on an incredibly rare bank, this is the first known. With 3 notes in the Kelly census and a paltry $880 outstanding, there is a good chance that this note will remain unique forever. Hyndman is a neat little town that lies 15 miles north of Cumberland, MD. The fact that this bank is still in business today speaks wonders of the bank's resiliency in weathering the great depression. This note was one of the centerpieces of Rob Lehmann's collection and it's sale represents a wonderful opportunity for the advanced collector. Estimated Value $7,500 - 9,500. The Rob Lehmann Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,095
Lot 5158		1902 Red Seal, $10 National Bank Note, SNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-614. . KL-1217. PCGS Very Fine 20.This is a great Western Maryland rarity where very few red seals are reported. Only 2 exist on this bank and there are less than half a dozen in Allegany and Garrett Counties combined.

This $10 is far superior to the Shank note which graded fine and realized $5500 back in 1998. Mount Savage is a great one bank town with an even better name.

Lot 5172		Fr-632. 1902, $10 National Bank Note, TNB Cumberland, MD. . Fr-632. . KL-1236. PCGS Very Fine 25 PPQ. This is a note that many Maryland collectors thought couldn't exist. In over 85 years, this is the first and only one to ever surface. Since this bank was liquidated less than 1 year after these notes were printed, it was thought that most, if not all of these third charters, were never released. Although we're hesitant to ever use the word "unique", it would certainly surprise us to find another one of these 3rd charter notes any time in the near future. Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,750.
