Lot 2608		1875, $1 National Bank Note. The Marine NB, New York, NY. CGA Extremely Fine 40, Bankstamp. . Fr-385. . KL-1091. This lovely First Charter Ace is from an early New York City bank that went into receivership in 1884.

Lot 2609		1875, $1 National Bank Note. Mercantile NB of the City of New York, NY. PCGS Currency Very Good 8. . Fr-385. . KL-1091. While this is a relatively common bank that issued more than $16 million worth of notes through 1912, only four $1 First Charter examples are known, with this a new discovery.

Lot 2610		Original Series, $2 National Bank Note. Union NB, Aurora, IL. PCGS Currency Very Good 8. . Fr-389. . KL-1095. This First Charter "Lazy Deuce" is one of only three known examples from this bank, which was chartered in 1871 but did not last through the end of the decade, liquidating in 1879. It is well worn, but retains complete wholeness and is free of any significant problems for the grade. Difficult to estimate because of the rarity, but likely to easily reach or exceed our potentially conservative attempt. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.

Lot 2612		1875, $5 National Bank Note. The Stock Growers NB, Cheyenne, WY. PCGS Currency Very Fine 25. . Fr-407. . KL-1112.

Indian Territory notes are not readily available, and an avid group of Oklahoma collectors makes sure that the supply is never sufficient for the demand. Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
